Some study programmes have a coordinator who is specialised in assisting students with internship and research matters.

At Leiden University there are many associations that focus on specific fields of study or study-related skills. What better way to meet people with similar academic interests whilst developing skills that will help you during your studies and beyond.

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

Leiden University is committed to ensuring that your education meets the highest standards. Quality is continuously monitored and improved by both external experts and the university itself. Feedback from students plays an essential role, for example in the form of the National Student Survey.

Instead of going on exchange, you could choose to study abroad independently. This is an option if you want to go to a destination that doesn’t have an exchange agreement with Leiden University, or if you missed out on an exchange place.

You're about to graduate. That means there’s a lot to be arranged. The university expects you to take certain steps, as does your study programme.

Staying in contact with other students might not always be easy but it is very important. Find out about the different ways in which you can meet other students.

Do you need help with study-related issues? Looking for advice on studying with a disability or combining your studies with other responsibilities? Leiden University’s study guidance and support services are here to help.
