Studying with a disability often costs additional time and energy. Leiden University wants to do all it can to offer equal chances to students with a disability. What can you do to support a student with a disability?

The University’s financial management and reports are based on various rules and regulations. The University must adhere to legal requirements and any internal agreements that apply within the organisation. In doing so, the University guarantees a high standard of financial reporting.

Staff from the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences and the Faculty of Humanities jointly provide lab support to the participating institutes.

Information managers are responsible for contributing to and implementing ICT policy in education, research and operational management.

Leiden University strives to provide equal opportunities for students with disabilities. With this aim, the Barrier-Free Studying project works with both staff and students to promote awareness, share knowledge and propose improvements in the following areas:

Leiden University considers good education to be of paramount importance. That is why we invest in our teachers’ professional development, to ensure that their teaching methods continue to match the needs of individual students.

At the moment the Faculty Network on Education and Innovation has 27 members.

One of the focal points of the teaching strategy at Leiden University is ensuring student success. Various initiatives have therefore been taken in this light ranging from the Leiden Study System to CROHO and from the Teachers’ Academy to teaching innovation.
