It goes without saying that recruiting new bachelor’s students is important to our university. Our recruitment efforts are focused both on schools and on the pupils themselves.

Our professors are the cornerstone of the University, and the bar is set high. They are recognised for their research, teaching and academic leadership skills. Our policy on professors explains how the University helps professors meet these high expectations.

One of the focal points of the teaching strategy at Leiden University is ensuring student success. Various initiatives have therefore been taken in this light ranging from the Leiden Study System to CROHO and from the Teachers’ Academy to teaching innovation.

It’s not easy to choose the right course of study for you. Leiden University is a strong believer in offering comprehensive orientation, so we organise information activities all year round.

A partnership with a university or organisation outside of the Netherlands must be based on an agreement. In some cases, Leiden University will not have exchanged students or staff with this university before, and you will first need to create a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

Our ambition as a university is to be one of the best. To realise this, we need to hire people with expert knowledge and skills, and give them room to excel. They range from talented new researchers to renowned professors and from study coordinators to IT managers.

Apart from the PhD regulations, Leiden University also employs a set of guidelines that lay down the minimal requirements for the supervision, training and available facilities for PhD candidates.

So how do you find that one grant opportunity that will bring you success? The trick is to find a funding opportunity where your needs and the expectations of the funding agency are well aligned. That is why you need a search strategy.
