Registration will open in a couple of months, but you can already sign up for a reminder.
Continuous activities:
Student for a Day
Did you attend an Open Day or Experience Day, and are you wondering what being a student is actually like at LUC? Do you have some burning questions for our current students? Then, this activity is the right one to figure out whether LUC is the right programme for you! By joining LUC as a Student for a Day, you will accompany one of our current students to one of their classes and get to experience LUC as a true student.
Please note: We recommend that you only apply for Student for a Day if you have already delved into what Leiden University College is all about. So this should not be your first encounter with LUC.
LUC101: meet a student of Liberal Arts & Sciences in a virtual one-on-one meeting
Would you like to attend a more small-scale, personal meeting to get acquainted with LUC? Then book an online LUC 101 meeting! You will meet with one of our student ambassadors who will present you the nuts and bolts of LUC and plenty of time to ask all your questions.
Campus Visit
Do you want to visit Leiden University, and cannot make it for any of the scheduled events? While we encourage students to attend organized events to get the full experience and ability to speak to multiple staff members, we understand that this is not always possible. For that reason, we offer the option to schedule an indivial campus visit.
Please feel free to submit your visit request at least a week in advance (ideally a bit longer). We will do our best to match you with one of our students for a campus tour.
Please note: during exam weeks or breaks it is more difficult for us to organize campus tours, and we cannot always guarantee that a tour is possible. In addition, we may combine visitors into one tour; a surprisingly great way to meet another prospective student. You can find our exam weeks and semester breaks in this schedule. We offer the last campus tours in 2024 on Friday, December 20.
Which activity is the right one for you?
Open Days | Check out multiple study programmes that Leiden University has to offer in Leiden and The Hague. Suitable if you are still considering various different study programmes. Sessions will be livestreamed! |
Experience Days |
Get a taste of LUC in sample lectures and a Q&A session. This activity is suitable if you are ready to delve a bit deeper into LUC. |
Student for a Day | Join a student to one of their real classes and experience LUC for yourself. We recommend that you only apply for Student for a Day if you have already explored what Leiden University College is all about. Student for a Day should not be your first encounter with LUC. |
Individual meetings or campus tours | This is available for students who are unable to join one of our scheduled activities. |
