Your study journey starts here.

Choosing a degree is an important step. Whether you already know what you want to study or are still exploring your options, one question matters most: Will this be the right place for me? At Leiden University, we believe the best study choice starts with curiosity and a clear understanding of what to expect. We want to help you explore our programmes, discover student life, and get a genuine feel for studying in Leiden or The Hague.

Here, you’ll learn to think critically, explore complex challenges, and develop the knowledge and skills to make a meaningful impact during your studies and beyond. Our two vibrant university cities each offer a unique experience. Leiden is a historic student city with a welcoming community, while The Hague is an international hub, home to global organisations and institutions. Together, they provide an inspiring environment to study, live, and meet people from around the world.
