Boards of Examiners Russian, African, and Latin American Studies merged
As of September 1st, the three Boards of Examiners for African Studies, Latin American Studies, and Russian (and Eurasian) Studies have been merged into the Board of Examiners for Russian, African and Latin American Studies (RAL).
The Board of Examiners monitors, among other things, the level and quality of exams, assesses exemption requests, elective course packages, internship and thesis applications, and other requests, it handles cases of fraud, and issues the binding study advice. If you are currently awaiting a decision from your board, or are otherwise in contact with the board, you need not worry. All pending requests and files are being transferred, and we do not expect any delays in their processing.
Are you curious about who the members of the new Board of Examiners are? Then take a look here. However, please do not contact individual members of the board. The new board can be reached via the email address: examencommissie-RAL@hum.leidenuniv.nl
For any questions, you can also contact your study advisor.
