Setup

The Leiden Leadership Programme consists of 15 EC and is made up of a core element called LLP Essentials (5 EC), to be complemented with a Leadership Lab (4 EC) and two electives (each 3 EC) (view prospectus).

The programme takes place between November and June. All classes take place in the evening, between 17:15 and 19:00 and between 19:15 and 21:00, and in highly exceptional cases on Saturday from 10:15-14:00 hrs or 11:15-15:00 hrs. We strive to organise the classes on campus as often as possible, and in-person attendance is mandatory for all classes.

Language

The programme is taught in English, with one component, the Leadership Lab, offered in Dutch as well.

Examination

The marks you receive for every component (the LLP Essentials, one Leadership Lab and two electives) will together make up your final mark for the LLP. The education of the LLP falls under the Board of Examiners of the Honours Academy at Leiden University. 

NB: Credits earned by means of the LLP are extracurricular and cannot be used to supplement the credits required for your regular study programme or electives.
