• Please upload your academic records of all attended secondary and higher education (completed and uncompleted), including any external national or university (entrance) exam results.
• Digital copies are required initially. Once you have been admitted, we will tell you how to submit certified copies to the Admissions Office so we can verify your documents.
• Documents must be in the original language and accompanied by official translations if they are not in English, Dutch, German or French.
• If you have not yet completed your study programme, state your expected graduation date and submit copies of all transcripts obtained to date and, if not indicated on your transcript, your final exam subjects.
• International Baccalaureate students must submit their transcript with IB grades obtained so far, at least containing their first year’s final grades, and a list of their final year subjects and levels.
• European Baccalaureate students should indicate the subjects in which they will take their written and oral examinations.
• US High School students should upload any AP, SAT or ACT results obtained to date, or indicate in which subjects they will take the College Board AP exams.
• Dutch Colloquium doctum applicants  must also submit a CV and letter of motivation. Please mention clearly that you want to apply through the colloquium doctum procedure in the letter of motivation.
• For students with a refugee background who do not have verifiable documentation from their previous education, Leiden University offers an alternative assessment procedure. If this applies to you, make sure to upload a detailed CV containing an explanation of which documents you have and detailed information on all education attended.

You can apply for admission before receiving the results of your English language test. However, a sufficient result will then be a condition of your eventual admission. Of course, if you already have your English language test result, you can upload it right away.

Are you applying for a programme taught in Dutch but do not have a Dutch prior education? Also provide proof of your Dutch language proficiency, e.g. certificates, diplomas or transcripts from Dutch language courses or study programmes followed in Dutch.

To find out if any additional application documents are required, check the programme-specific information.
