Pre-master's students cannot apply for Leiden Leadership Programme. 

International students are welcome to join the LLP, but you can only apply if you are enrolled in a master's programme for a full year at Leiden University, TU Delft or Erasmus University (see also questions 4 and 5 below).

If you are a student from TU Delft or Erasmus University Rotterdam, you can apply. If you are a student from another university, you cannot apply.

To be eligible for the Leiden Leadership Programme, you need to be enrolled in a master's programme at Leiden University, TU Delft or Erasmus University Rotterdam for the full duration of the honours programme. 

Do you finish your master's halfway the academic year, before the LLP programme is finished? Then you are not eligible to apply for the LLP. 

If you start in February but are enrolled in your master's for the full duration of the LLP - for instance, because you joined a 2-year long master's programme - then you are eligible to apply for the LLP. 

Yes, you can apply for the Leiden Leadership Programme regardless. View the latest admission requirements here. 

You can only apply for the Leiden Leadership Programme as a whole.

The application for the LLP opens in September. Due to the tight schedule needed for the selection process it is very important that you apply before the admission deadline.

In-person attendance is mandatory for each part of the programme. If you are absent for a prolonged period of time, your application will be denied.

The application process has multiple parts. More information can be found here.

First, check your spam folder. If you cannot find the confirmation email in your spam folder, please send an email to leadership@ha.leidenuniv.nl.

The LLP starts in the first half of November. By the end of October at the latest, you will receive an email stating whether you are admitted to the programme or not.

The organisation of the Leiden Leadership Programme will take care of your registration in uSis, approximately a week before the start of the course. Therefore, you do not need to register in uSis yourself.

Once your enrollment is completed in uSis, you will gain access to the Brightspace module. Note that we take care of both your registration in uSis and your access to Brightspace.

If you apply for the LLP, we expect full commitment and availability. Do you nonetheless find yourself in a situation where you want to unenroll during the programme, please contact the LLP organisation as soon as possible by sending an email to leadership@ha.leidenuniv.nl. Do not forget to state the reason for your unenrollment.

The programme consists of 15 EC, equivalent to 420 study hours spread over November to June. This works out to approximately 12 hours per week on average. In practice, the bulk of the time investment falls on the practical assignment (Leadership Lab) in the second semester. 

This is possible. The Leiden Leadership Programme mostly takes place in the evenings between 5:15 PM and 9:00 PM. Please note that strict attendance is required, and classes are not conducted online. The skills trainings can be scheduled on various days, including Saturdays. It's important that you can occasionally visit your partner organization during office hours in the second semester as well. Discuss with your internship company beforehand what is feasible regarding scheduling.

Yes this this is possible, but can be complicated. The Leiden Leadership Programme mostly takes place in the evenings between 5:15 PM and 9:00 PM, and has a strict attendance requirement and no online classes. The skills trainings can be scheduled on different days, including Saturdays. Furthermore, it's important that you can occasionally visit your practical organization during office hours. 

It is more practical to follow the programme during your science internship (wetenschapsstage), elective clinical internships (keuzecoschappen), or semi-doctor's clinical internship (semi-artscoschap). During the waiting period for your clinical internships, it is not a problem as long as you are enrolled at Leiden University.

The partner organisations vary in size, structure and culture – ranging from businesses to government bodies and NGOs. LLP ensures that these organisations are carefully matched with the student teams. The student teams are composed by the programme management of the LLP based on academic background, gender, and language. The LLP organisation strives to create teams that are as diverse as possible. 

Yes, this is possible in principle. In some cases, however, you have to ask permission from the board of examiners. For the Leiden Leadership Programme, there is also an attendance requirement, which makes combination with certain activities difficult or impossible. Therefore, we ask you to discuss your situation with the LLP. Please send an e-mail to leadership@ha.leidenuniv.nl.

Upon successful completion of the Leiden Leadership Programme, you will receive a certificate. Your study result will also appear on your diploma as an extracurricular activity.

The LLP credits do not count as an elective in your regular study programme. However, your grade for the LLP will appear as an extracurricular activity on your diploma supplement.
