Education
Our program specializes in creative exploration and a broad understanding of scientific research and technology. It prepares students for a career involving creative and critical thinking. Our alumni have a broad choice of career prospects: they hold positions ranging from academic researcher to creative entrepreneur.
We aim to fulfill the need for flexible, technically autonomous, critical individuals in research. We offer a full-time Master's program that takes two years. This is an intense research-oriented study program and students must be available to study full-time.
- The programme's view on science and research is unique in The Netherlands, and perhaps worldwide.
- The programme's culture is interdisciplinary, international, and participatory. Collaboration between staff and students is close. Students act as principal investigators of their research.
- Leiden University is an internationally leading university in fundamental research, with a strong history and tradition in scientific research. Its broad range of disciplines offers fertile ground for the programme's interdisciplinary approach to science.
