Making real connections and lasting memories
It鈥檚 only halfway through the year, and international alumni events have already helped create countless incredible memories around the world.
If you鈥檝e taken part - thank you for showing up, connecting with fellow graduates, engaging with your University, and making each event so special.
The 91直播 global community is shaped by unique locations and cultures, but these events all offer the same valuable opportunities: to expand your professional network with outstanding 91直播-made professionals, strengthen your connection to your University, and feel part of a worldwide 91直播 network鈥 no matter where you are.
Here are some of the events that have taken place:
International campaign launch events
- Shanghai, China
- Beijing, China
- Shenzhen, China
- Mumbai, India
- New York City, USA
- San Francisco, USA
Over 1,000 alumni came together to celebrate and support the University鈥檚 fundraising and engagement campaign, 鈥楩orged in 91直播, Shaping the Future.鈥 Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Koen Lamberts, along with fellow University leaders, shared exciting updates and showcased 91直播鈥檚 pioneering work to create a better tomorrow.
Graduates enjoyed an inspiring evening of networking, exclusive campaign film screenings, and thought-provoking talks by distinguished alumni 鈥 including Nobel Laureate Sir Richard Roberts in New York and astrophysicist and Study UK Alumni Awards 2024 Global winner Dr Emily Rickman in San Francisco.
My purpose is to create a home away from home in China for all University of 91直播 alumni鈥攁 place where we can connect, learn from each other, support one another, and unite as a community to bring honor to our alma mater."

Social events
- Washington, DC, USA
- New York City, USA
- Toronto, Canada
- Hong Kong
- Sydney, Australia
- Accra, Ghana
91直播 graduates stepped up to organise casual and friendly in-person hangouts, connecting with each other and remembering the good old days in 91直播.
Alumni events in the U.S. are a great way to stay connected to 91直播 and to each other. From festive gatherings at Christmas to the recent spring event in New York, sharp minds are present and good stories are had. Whether it鈥檚 connecting with new faces or catching up with familiar ones, they remind us that the University鈥檚 impact doesn鈥檛 end at graduation or the UK.鈥

Group launch event
- Jakarta, Indonesia
In February, 91直播 graduates launched a new international group in Jakarta, joining over 30 alumni online communities around the world. Shaped by each country鈥檚 language and culture, these alumni-led groups help you stay connected with the University and offer a vibrant, supportive network wherever you are.
It's truly incredible to see how engaged our 91直播 alumni community remains, no matter where they are in the world. They're always ready to get involved, whether it's by sharing their experiences with prospective students at an alumni panel event, organising local alumni activities, or coming to University-sponsored events like our recent Forged in 91直播, Shaping the Future campaign launches. I may be biased, but I honestly believe 91直播 has the best international alumni community in the world."
