Career preparation

You study in the heart of The Hague’s many international diplomatic organisations and will hear from practitioners working in the IRD field during lectures, helping you start your professional network. And as noted, your internship gives you practical hands-on work experience and a professional network.

Career services

Leiden University’s career counsellors give advice and information during your master and also after graduation. Each of Leiden’s seven faculties has its own career services department, with specific expertise related to that faculty’s programmes.

You have access to our web-based resources, which include career step plans, job seeking strategies and self-assessment tools. The Career Services desk also offers a range of relevant workshops.
