Admission & Application
Limited number of places
Every minor has a limited number of places. These are allocated on a first come, first served basis (with the exception of TU Delft and Erasmus minors with admission requirements*). So apply on time.
Reserved spots for LDE-students
Leiden University, Delft University of Technology and Erasmus University Rotterdam collaborate closely on a range of educational matters, thus making it easy to follow a minor at Leiden University, TU Delft or the Erasmus University. During the application period, Leiden University reserves one third of their minor places for TU Delft and Erasmus University students.
Maximum of one minor
You may only apply for one minor with admission requirements. You may only apply for one TUD/EUR/LDE minor. If you are placed on a waiting list, you may apply for another Leiden minor (without admission requirements). Please note: you can only follow one minor. Are you placed on two waiting lists? Deregister from one of the two minors and apply for a different one.
For questions about applying, contact 071 – 527 1111 or studielijn@leidenuniv.nl.
Application Process
Steps to take
Students of Leiden University, TU Delft and Erasmus University have to apply via EduXchange.
- Read more information about the application process
- Create an eduID
- Register for your minor via eduXchange
External students (from research universities as well as universities of applied sciences) can apply for just one of the Leiden minors. This is not done through eduXchange, but through the procedure described here.
When and how can you sign up?
The minor is open to bachelor students who are considering a career on the intersection of artificial intelligence and business or who are interested in entrepreneurship in an "AI-driven business". Students from the Bachelor Computer Science and Bachelor Data Science and Artificial Intelligence programmes are not eligible for this minor due to overlapping content.
This minor has a maximum capacity of 95 students. Participants will be selected on a first come first-serve basis, and if they have done all steps that are required for this minor.
Important note: students can only enroll for the full minor. Students that enroll for multiple class numbers of the AIB minor will not be placed.
Students from other universities are asked to contact the AIB coordinator via minoraib@liacs.leidenuniv.nl to check if there are still places available. After confirmation, these external students need to register as a guest student at Leiden University, see more information here.
More information on when and how to sign up, please look at the E Prospectus.
