Do you still remember your time in Saarland?
A lively university campus surrounded by green woodland, but still close to a culturally vibrant city. Those relaxing lunchtime breaks on one of the campus lawns. Sharing a meal with your friends in the Mensa and enjoying the view out over the campus.
If any of those things bring back happy memories of your time on campus, then you've come to right place. Welcome back!
Whatever your connection to Saarland University is, whether you studied here, did research work for your PhD, or were employed as a member of the university staff, we'd like to invite you to become part of our international alumni network and offer you the opportunity to get to know other Saarland University alumni and to share memories, news and ideas.

"Ein Ziel zu haben, dem man mit Leidenschaft und Begeisterung folgt: Das ist mein Karrieretipp."
"Die Universität des Saarlandes hat eine wunderschöne Lage, mitten in der Natur. Es war idyllisch, und da es etwas abgelegen liegt, konnte man sich auf das Studium fokussieren. Ich begegnete kulturellen Besonderheiten mit Neugierde und Aufgeschlossenheit und gewöhnte mich langsam an eine neue Welt. Turbulent ist die Begegnung mit dem ersten Schnee meines Lebens: Vor lauter Freude tobte ich mit Freunden stundenlang im Schnee." Dr. Auma Obama besuchte in den 1980er Jahren das Studienkolleg auf dem Saarbrücker Campus. Später gründete die Schwester von Barack Obama die Stiftung "Sauti Kuu", die Kinder und Jugendliche dabei unterstützt, ihr Potenzial zu verwirklichen.
"Heute noch denke ich ganz oft an all diese Dozenten – super Zeit."
"Im Nachhinein kann ich sagen, es war wahrscheinlich eines der besten Fächer, die ich hätte wählen können. Ich bin tatsächlich sehr zufrieden mit meiner Studienwahl und mit der Uni, das muss ich auch mal sagen. Ich hatte herausragende Dozenten, hatte ein tolles Studienumfeld und hab wirklich fürs Leben gelernt... Mir war damals nicht wirklich klar, welchen beruflichen Weg ich einschlagen werde... Ich dachte mir immer, es wird sich schon eine Gelegenheit ergeben. Genau so war es bei mir. Und wenn die Gelegenheit kommt, dann geht es auf einmal ganz schnell." Thorsten Havener studierte Angewandte Sprachwissenschaft an der Universität des Saarlandes und ist heute als Mentalmagier und Bestseller-Autor international erfolgreich.
"Studying on and around the Saarland University campus shaped me as an independent thinker."
"The foundation of what I needed to be successful in my career came from my learnings at Saarland University. I was not only soaking in knowledge across the various courses I was attending but also truly enjoyed the experience of living in Saarbrücken. The campus is located on a beautiful hill just outside the city and is large and small at the same time. While it is known for its excellence in Computer Science, I got a very well-rounded business education at the university which has served me well in life. Today, I fondly look back to the four years I spent at Saarland University, spending countless hours at the library and the Mensa." Aprajita Jain studierte BWL an der Universität des Saarlandes und trat anschließend eine Stelle als Chief Brand Marketing Evangelist bei Google an.
