UAB Alumni was set up with a clear objective: to become a large community of graduates of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. This is a young university, but one with over 150,000 graduates. Teaching staff, administration and services staff, students and former students have made the UAB a cutting-edge university in many disciplines. In mid-2023, along with a change in the relationship model between graduated people and UAB, Alumni UAB joined the Foundation of the Autonomous University of Barcelona to continue strengthening the relation between alumni and the UAB.

The institutional UAB Alumni programme has been created in the firm belief that former students, with their professional and life knowledge, have to continue to form part of the university community. 

UAB Alumni works to organise and promote alumni meetings, coordinate networking and training activities with the Employability Service  and works to bring together and offer services to the most numerous of the university’s communities: its former students.

The main aims of UAB Alumni are to:

  • Promote the two-way relationship between the UAB and its graduates.
  • Promote networking and social relations among the graduates of the UAB.
  • Offer support to graduates in their search for work and in their life-long learning.
  • Offer Continuing Professional Development to graduates of the UAB.
