Felicia (20) on Art, Media & Society: “When I read about this study programme online, it immediately spoke to me. During the Experience Day I enjoyed how passionate the lecturers spoke about their subjects.” -
Meike (17) on Philosophy: "I enjoyed the Experience Day for Philosophy a lot. The class we got on 'a happy life', was really interesting. What I like is that because you get to experience the city, the people and the buildings you really get an image of whether this programme is for you or not." -
Ingrid (24) on Linguistics: "I love to puzzle with language and Linguistics in Leiden is the only university in The Netherlands that offers Indo European as a specialisation. Coming to the Experience Day gave me a much better image of Linguistics. I think I will sign up to study here!" -
Willem and Mineke on Art History: “It was so much fun! During the tutorial answers weren’t right or wrong because it was about your interpretation. That was a completely new experience for me.” -
Julien (18) from Paris on International Studies: “Because of the Experience Day I’ve gained a good picture of the programme. I’ve made up my mind, in September I’m moving to The Hague!”
