Entire master's programme

Do you want to do an entire master's programme abroad? The SAF is primarily intended for Leiden University students who want to do an exchange programme, internship or research project abroad. There are no presentations specifically on doing an entire master's abroad. However, a number of the above-mentioned organisations can provide you with information, for example the Fullbright Center for study in the US.

Visa

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide information about visas at the SAF. Conditions and procedures vary greatly depending on your nationality and destination. Once you are admitted to an exchange programme, you will receive information about visa procedures. You can also request information from your destination country's embassy or consulate.
