Not sure if you should come to a Bachelor's Open Day?

Not sure if you should come to a Leiden University Open Day? We asked some of our prospective students what are some of the main reasons for coming on campus before you pick your place to study.

These students already visited the Open Day:

Sandie: “Later on, I want to work in development, so I think one of two courses would be good: International Studies or Cultural Anthropology & Sociology Development. You do economics and politics in International Studies, whereas in the other you learn more about how to tackle today’s issues.”
Laith: “I came here one-and-a-half years ago as a refugee from Syria. I think that studying in Leiden would be a good opportunity for me. I’m thinking of something to do with medicine, but am also interested in liberal arts or psychology. I love the city – lots of young people and great architecture.”
Nausicaä: “I’d like to study Psychology in Leiden. I’m interested in how people think and behave. I’ve got a lot of information from second-year students, for example. What do I make of Leiden? I like the buildings and also the fact that the city is very student orientated.”
Djaella has come to Leiden with her mother today to explore her options for the future. She’s not sure whether to do Psychology or International Studies. “I’ve always been interested in the rest of the world, but I also want to learn about how people think and act.”
