Prospective students

Student profile

Do you have what it takes? If you want to join us at International Studies, you need to have an open mind and respect for different political views and cultural approaches.


Gap year students

We love gap year students and try to show it. For a degree like the BA International Studies, travelling is important. It will afford you the chance to put your every-day experiences and assumptions into another cultural context.


Housing and facilities

Leiden University has a broad range of facilities on offer, both in Leiden and The Hague. For students of the International Studies programme from outside of the Netherlands we will have apartments available.
