The LLP provides participants with the necessary knowledge, insights, and skills about leadership to enhance the impact they have on society. The programme runs from November to June and is open to master’s students from our university as well as Delft University of Technology and Erasmus University Rotterdam. This intensive extracurricular course is done alongside the regular master’s programme and requires substantial motivation and dedication. Students who are admitted, learn how to make an impact through lectures by scientists and professionals in the field, skills training, and a practical assignment. The latter enables participants to tackle a topical problem put forward by the LLP’s partner organisations. This programme invites applications from both Dutch-speaking and international students.
This involves embarking upon two different university degrees at the same time. They can be complementary, or, they can be very different from one another. However, it is crucial that you obtain approval of the faculties involved. Please note that there may be an additional tuition fee involved.
