Are you an employee at Leiden University and do you want to know how to apply for a grant at Erasmus+? Or are you a student at this university and do you want to study abroad?

Information for staff

On our staff website you can find more information about creating a partnership agreement, how to apply for an Erasmus+ grant, and how the Leiden University subsidies advisor can help. For Erasmus staff exchange the agreement is managed by the faculty/programme International coordinator; staff wishing to apply for an Erasmus+ stipend to support exchange to an Erasmus + partner can find information about the application process on the website of the Scholarships office (for teaching assignments, or Erasmus+ for training).

Information for students

Exchange programmes offer an easy way to study abroad. Visit the student website to read more about studying abroad and how to apply for an exchange period.

Are you an international student looking for a non-degree programme at Leiden University? Or are you an international staff member, interested in an exchange with Leiden University?

Non-degree programmes at Leiden University

Are you a student and are you interested in following an exchange or study abroad period at our university? Check whether your own university has an exchange agreement with Leiden. Then go to the Study Abroad / Exchange page for more information about studying at our university.

Are you looking for an opportunity to do a (research) internship? There is a limited number of options at our university. Contact the internship supervisor and exchange coordinator of your own university well in advance.

Erasmus+ staff exchange with Leiden University

Staff exchange with Leiden University within the framework of Erasmus+ generally takes place on the basis of existing relationships. Please contact your colleague directly at our university if you have any questions about this. Unfortunately we cannot usually answer general applications.

Establishing an Erasmus+ partnership

The partnership that you might wish to establish can involve the entire University, a single faculty or just one specific study programme. Within the European Union, Leiden University has partnerships with other universities in the Erasmus+ programme. If students or staff wish to spend time at a university that does not participate in the Erasmus+ programme, an individual partnership agreement will have to be created. If the planned partnership is University-wide, you should contact the International Relations department of Student and Educational Affairs (SEA) for advice. However, if the partnership is only between specific faculties, please ask your faculty’s international exchange coordinator for assistance.
