Alumni
During the past 20 years, more than 20,000 FGU students have already completed their bi-national or tri-national studies with a double degree. The FGU attaches great importance to maintaining contact with its students and graduates – not only during their studies, but also in the transition phase between studies and work, as well as once they have started out on their careers. The FGU therefore supports them with content and financial backing.
Graduate study 2019
The FGU carries out regular graduate surveys in order to stay tuned in to the professional careers of their former students.
With a double degree from the FGU it is very easy to find employment.
FGU graduates by no means only work in France or Germany.
Three out of four FGU graduates are employed in a job with an international dimension.
Almost all FGU graduates would recommend an integrated FGU course to future students.

Alumni associations
Many FGU study programmes have established alumni associations. The alumni associations allow graduates to remain in contact with each other across national borders after they have graduated, and to organise alumni meetings and theme-based events.
The FGU supports alumni activities within the scope of its bi-national and tri-national degree programmes with maximum funding of €2,500 per year and per association.
The FGU also provides funding for networking between different FGU-backed alumni associations by means of a special call for applications for networking projects.
