In these articles we highlight tutors’ international and intercultural experiences. Leiden University strives to enable students to develop so called "21st century skills" which are defined as "the ability to work in teams, international and intercultural skills, entrepreneurship, leadership qualities and digital competences".

Leiden University’s Faculty of Humanities offers many master’s programmes for students of International Studies. Check out the list on the student’s website to find out about entry requirements.

Since 2017, Dr. Sarita Koendjbiharie, has been gathering stories of International Studies Alumni, which resulted in an impressive and growing collection of around 150 “Alumni Dreams”. In this article we would like to highlight one of the Alumni Dreams and find out a bit more about Kieran Richards, a British alumnus (2012), who currently has an impressive job as an FX MM Investigator at BNP Paribas in Paris. We asked him about the choices he made, his career path, working in the banking sector, his time at International Studies and of course his advice for new alumni!
