Pre-Arrival Activities
Enrolling in university is an exciting life transition, which requires some preparation. We have scheduled a couple of events to help you do just that!
Pre-Union & Pre-Departure Events
There's stuff you need to prepare & to know: we offer a Pre-Departure guide and webinars to prepare you for all you need to know to start studying at LUC.
And let's not forget about a 'soft landing'! In order to socialize and get to know your future classmates, we offer Pre-Union events (1 in person, 2 online).
In-person Pre-Union | Saturday, 11 April
Did you get accepted for LUC? Congratulations!
Get started on picturing yourself at Leiden University College during our Experience Day+ on Saturday, 11 April. The morning programme is a regular Experience Day. However, the afternoon programme is especially designed for admitted students.
Join us for a packed day with a sample class in our discussion-based teaching style, chat with teachers and students about majors and campus life, and play games to connect with future classmates. Come and tour our campus, and feel right at home in the LUC community.
Admitted students can attend the full-day or just the afternoon programme, crafted especially for you!

Pre-Departure Webinar | Friday, June 26
Whether you live nearby or far away, starting a Bachelor's programme is a new chapter in life. There are lots of things to prepare or to learn about:
- Administrative things to arrange: How to make sure you're fully registered at LUC? What other administrative steps are there?
- Things to know: what to do when studying with a disability? What does the support structure at LUC look like?
- Things to pack: What does an LUC studio apartment look like? What clothes do we recommend you bring?
- ...and many things to look forward to!
This webinar aims to tackle all this and more, with plenty of room to ask our students all your burning questions. The Pre-Departure webinars are scheduled on:
- June 26, 12:00 CEST
- June 26, 18:00 CEST
Parents are welcome to join the Pre-Departure webinar. We offer this webinar twice to accommodate different time zones; it is not necessary to attend both sessions. The webinar will be recorded, and the recording will be shared afterwards.

Are you excited to meet your future classmates? Join the online Pre-Union meeting! This meeting is hosted on zoom. The focus is on socializing: meeting the first members of your LUC community and your intro week mentors. Stay tuned: signup will open later this spring!
