From the Dean
“We are very excited at LUC The Hague about the way that the curriculum is taking shape. It is a genuinely innovative and creative concept, with great scope for growth and development on the part of both students and staff. We’re grateful for the support we have received from all the Faculties in Leiden, and especially for the time and energy of their representatives on our Curriculum Development Committee. It is thrilling to see how much enthusiasm and creativity can be generated by a common venture of this kind, university-wide, and we can’t wait to see how this collaboration will develop in the future, to the benefit of Leiden as a whole.”
LUC The Hague: Mission
