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.

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.
