Welcome to Leiden UniversityIt is the clear intention of Leiden University to create a more international student body, to strengthen the international character of the University and to internationalise the learning experience for all students.
Leiden through the eyes of...Romanian student Theodor Balan (24) studies Mathematics in Leiden and is President of the International Student Network. Living in Leiden has changed his life. ‘The years I have spent here are not only in photo albums, but are part of who I am, and whatever I will achieve in the future.’
Kenneth Marcus from the Californian University of La Verne is Fulbright Visiting Professor in American Culture this Spring semester. He is enjoying spending time in the city where the Pilgrim Fathers lived. And he discovered something else. ‘Both the second and sixth presidents of the United States stayed here. You could promote their presence much more!’
Erika Sing is a first-year student at Leiden University College The Hague (LUC The Hague). Actually, her real name is Xueyan Xing, but that’s much too difficult for non-Chinese to pronounce! So what is Erika’s impression of the university, the programme and the city after the first semester? ‘I love LUC!’
