Bachelor

Students can stand as candidates during university elections via a party. On this page, the student parties present themselves.

As a student of Leiden University you are provided with a student account (ULCN account) that allows you to access a variety of systems such as uMail, uSis, Brightspace and library catalogues, as well as the physical workstations within the university.

When following a Bachelor’s programme you must re-register as a student each academic year. You must also request registration if you want to join a Master’s programmes.

After a turbulent Covid year, the well-being of our students and staff has the highest priority. How can we prevent physical and mental health problems? This was the key question at the Opening of the Academic Year in Pieterskerk in Leiden on 6 September.

All students in the Netherlands are invited to take part in the National Student Survey (NSE) once a year. Via the NSE you can give your opinion on the positive aspects of your study programme, as well as what you think could or should be improved.

Upon graduation, or if you discontinue your studies, you must terminate your student registration at Leiden University. This is also known as de-registration. Make sure to do so as quickly as possible in case you are eligible for a partial refund of tuition fees paid.

Are you worried that a (fellow) student might pose a danger to another student or staff member? For example, behaviour such as stalking, sexual harassment or making threats. If so, you can turn to the concerning or threatening behaviour adviser.

Guiding people and helping them flourish. That's what Alexandra Blank's work is about. She has two jobs at W&N and she likes them both. ‘It is precisely because I combine these two jobs that I can do both well'.

Event

Education, Organisation

In the documentary ‘Pretend Student’, former students talk about why they let everyone believe they were still studying. How can you make sure you don’t end up in such an impossible situation? Four questions for Leiden Student Dean, Romke Biagioni, who worked on the documentary.

The course Designing Your Life helps students navigate their career pathways. As it turns out, these pathways are full of twists and turns and - as with many journeys - you only make progress once you gather the courage to take the first step.
