On this page you can find all the student associations that fall under the umbrella organisation the 'Local Chamber of Associations' (Plaatselijke Kamer van Verenigingen). As well as many social associations, the list also includes international, religious, cultural, sports and music associations.

Leiden student associations

Student associations are social associations. That is to say membership is not based on a particular field of study, interest or background. Despite this, each association has its own particular identity. You can experience this best during the EL CID introduction week or during the various ‘open weeks’ throughout the year.
