Cyber Security (MSc)
Required documents
When you apply for admission, you'll be asked to submit several documents.
Note: If you have a Dutch diploma that grants direct admission, you will generally not be asked to submit additional documents.
Required application documents
You’ll need to submit the following documents:
You can apply for admission before receiving the results of your English language test. However, a sufficient result will then be a condition of your eventual admission. Of course, if you already have your English language test results, you can upload them directly.
- Digital copies of diplomas and transcripts are initially required. Once you have been admitted, we will inform you how to submit certified copies.
- The documents must be in the original language. If they are not in English, Dutch, German or French, they must be accompanied by official translations into one of these languages.
- If you have not yet completed your current programme, state your expected graduation date and submit copies of all transcripts obtained to date plus a list of subjects still to be completed.
Additional requirements specific to Cyber Security
Your letter of motivation should be a personal statement explaining why you want to follow the programme, why you want to do so at Leiden University, and what makes you think you’ll be a good candidate. The statement must be between 700 and 1,500 words and written in English.
Non-EU or Non-EER students
This is a part-time programme. According to Dutch law, you are not allowed to study part-time while you are in the Netherlands on a student visa, so you will need a different visa (e.g. employment) if you would like to follow this programme.
