MArch Alumni is one of the most special and anticipated events within the calendar of the MArch Valencia Postgraduate School.

Conceived as a grand celebration, it is held every three years with the aim of bringing together former students who have completed MArch programs over time with current students, creating a unique space for reunion, inspiration, and connection. This event has become a key milestone in the life of the school—not only for its festive and emotional nature but also for the academic, professional, and human value it represents. Through this gathering, strong bonds are forged between different generations of students who share the same educational journey, enriched by their personal experiences and professional paths in diverse international contexts.

During MArch Alumni, a full program of activities unfolds, blending learning, exhibition, and celebration. A central part of the event is dedicated to project presentations by alumni, who share the work they have developed since completing their studies. The goal is clear: to showcase the talent of those who have been part of MArch and to foster a collective learning environment in which current students can gain firsthand insight into the various career paths and professional realities that await them. These presentations reveal the evolution and diversity of approaches in architecture, design, and innovation that alumni have applied across the world over time.

In addition to the exhibitions, the day includes a series of talks and informal gatherings that encourage the exchange of ideas and experiences. These moments allow former and current students to share concerns, ask questions, establish collaborations, or simply listen to one another in a relaxed yet deeply enriching atmosphere. The interaction between generations not only promotes mutual learning but also strengthens the sense of belonging to an academic and professional community that extends far beyond the classroom. In many cases, this event has served as a catalyst for synergies, job opportunities, partnerships, and new collective projects.

The day concludes with a celebratory dinner followed by a party that captures the spirit of camaraderie that defines MArch. This final part of the event is a tribute to reunion, shared journeys, and the emotional bond that has formed over time between the school, its students, and its wider environment. The previous edition of MArch Alumni, held in 2022, coincided with the 10th anniversary of MArch Valencia’s founding, making it an especially meaningful occasion.

Now, in its latest edition, the event welcomes former students from all over the world—reflecting the international dimension the school has achieved. It becomes a living celebration of MArch’s memory, evolution, and future, bringing renewed energy to the entire faculty and staff and reinforcing the idea that the MArch community doesn’t end with graduation, but continues to grow and transform with every student who passes through its doors.
