Study associations

A study association is a good way to combine study-related activities with pleasure. Every faculty has one or more study association.

Many study programmes have their own study association. For more information take a look under the faculty tab, or speak to the administration of your study programme. 

Study associations are for students from a particular degree programme and focus on the academic aspects of student life. Students who are members of a Study Asociation support each other during their study period at Leiden, and organise course-related activities, such as lectures, seminars, field trips or excursions.

T.W.I.S.T.

Hi new linguist, excellent choice choosing linguistics; an awesome year is lying ahead of you!

Are you planning to make your year at Leiden even more fun? Become a member of T.W.I.S.T! The one and only study association of linguistics in Leiden, entertaining its members for over more than twenty years. Almost the whole of the study program is a member.

But first, what is a study association? A study association is an association for students run by students from the same study who organize all kinds of fun activities together.

And organizing fun activities we do. Be it academic or non-academic. How about a reptile lecture, ice-skating, all sorts of movie nights or an extraordinary game night? Not to mention the countless drinks and parties. We also go on holiday no less then twice a year. T.W.I.S.T. has something for everyone!

Another big advantage: members get a discount on their study books. They can order books through our website at our partner: Indexbooks.

To get to know our association and its faces, we will organize a number of awesome introduction activities. Maybe sail with us on the boat tour to get to see the fabulous facades of Leiden? Or even better: enjoy three days full of activities, while getting to know your peers at the first years weekend from the 15th until the 17th of September. Or take part in the countless other great activities that we are still planning.

Do you want to become a member or are you still hesitant? It doesn’t hurt to take a look at our website. Here you can sign up, costing only 25 per year. Once you are a member, you can order your study books though here. More information on the activities and possibility to sign up will arrive to you with the monthly mail, which you will receive once you are a member. You should also take a look at our Instagram to stay up-to-date with all the latest T.W.I.S.T. news.

We wish you a great year and hope to swiftly see your face at one of our activities!
