Check out the stories of visitors to the Experience Day!
-
Felicia (20) on Art, Media & Society: “When I read about this study programme online, it immediately spoke to me. During the Experience Day I enjoyed how passionate the lecturers spoke about their subjects.” -
Meike (17) on Philosophy: "I enjoyed the Experience Day for Philosophy a lot. The class we got on 'a happy life', was really interesting. What I like is that because you get to experience the city, the people and the buildings you really get an image of whether this programme is for you or not." -
Ingrid (24) on Linguistics: "I love to puzzle with language and Linguistics in Leiden is the only university in The Netherlands that offers Indo European as a specialisation. Coming to the Experience Day gave me a much better image of Linguistics. I think I will sign up to study here!" -
Willem and Mineke on Art History: “It was so much fun! During the tutorial answers weren’t right or wrong because it was about your interpretation. That was a completely new experience for me.” -
Julien (18) from Paris on International Studies: “Because of the Experience Day I’ve gained a good picture of the programme. I’ve made up my mind, in September I’m moving to The Hague!”
If you are thinking about enrolling in this programme at Leiden University and want to find out if it is right for you, you can take an online student experience. The experience consists of online mini-courses with readings and a few assignments, just as if it were real first-year courses.
