Students
As a Leiden University student, you’re part of Una Europa: an alliance of 11 leading research universities.
This means access to a vibrant international community with many opportunities to study, gain work experience, and develop your leadership skills.
Whether you're a bachelor’s, master’s or PhD student, Una Europa offers you:
- Study opportunities like summer schools, online courses, and virtual exchanges. These are designed to deepen your knowledge and connect you with your international peers.
- Work experience through our Local Task Force, internships, and project incubators. Build your skills and turn ideas into action.
- Leadership roles on the Student Board and at key events. Una Europa gives you a platform to influence the future of higher education.
Una Europa Student Board
Leiden University students are represented on the Student Board and across the alliance by two student board representatives.
What does a Student Board representative do?
As a Student Board representative, you make sure that the voice of students is heard across the alliance. You’ll work with other students, university staff and leaders to discuss challenges, develop ideas and launch initiatives that improve the student experience.
It's a chance to make a real impact while building an international network and gaining valuable experience in leadership, collaboration, and student representation.
Since our previous representatives have graduated, we’ll soon launch a call for two Leiden University students to join the Una Europa Student Board. If you're passionate about student engagement and interested in representing Leiden University at the European level, subscribe to our newsletter to be alerted when applications open.
