Did you submit a complete application before the deadline? Then you can participate in the selection process. You will receive an email from the Institute of Psychology after 15 January with more information.

The Online Assessment will take place on 11 and 12 February. You will have exactly 3 hours to complete it. The Assessment consists of both open questions and multiple choice questions.

You can prepare for the Online Assessment via the Self Study Module from 28 January. In these 2 weeks you can study literature on Psychology and watch weblectures. You can also make use of sample test questions. We expect that you will spend no more than a total of 12 hours studying the module (approximately 80 pages of literature, 90 minutes of video and sample test questions). It's not necessary nor possible to prepare for the Online Assessment before these 2 weeks of preparation start.

TIP:

Please make sure that you have access to a computer, have reliable access to the internet and work in an environment which allows you to concentrate between late January and mid-February 2022. The Online Assessment and the Self Study module do not work on tablets or smartphones.

Between the 10th of February and the 15th of April 2022, the Selection Committee of the Bachelor programme in Psychology will determine the ranking of applicants. The Online Assessment will be reviewed. This result combined with your grade average will result in a ranking number.

We can offer a place to 600 students, divided between the Dutch and the English version of the Bachelor. The lower your ranking number, the better your chances of being offered a place in our programme.

You will be informed about your ranking number through Studielink on the 15th of April 2022. If a student withdraws or turns down an offer, their place will be offered to the next student in line. This means that places will be offered throughout the period April 15 to August 31. If you are offered a place, you have fourteen days to accept or decline, so remember to check your email and spam folder regularly from 15 April. 

Please read carefully the Rules and Regulations of the selection process of the Bachelor programme Psychology 2022-2023. This document specifies the requirements you must meet in order to participate in the selection process. 

On 15 April, all candidates who participated in the selection process were given a ranking number with, for the 600 lowest ranking numbers, a placement offer. If someone does not accept their place within two weeks, or withdraws later, the next candidate in the ranking will immediately be offered a place. This means that candidates who have not yet been offered a place still have possibility chance to study Psychology in Leiden.

Below you can see up to which ranking number places have been offered. This page is updated every two weeks.

Number of available places: 600

Highest ranking number with placement certificate: 894 (10-05-2022)

It is impossible to predict how big the chance is that a candidate with a higher ranking number will still be offered a place. Obviously, candidates with a ranking number close to 600 will be offered a place sooner than candidates with a higher ranking number, but experience has shown that a significant part of the candidates will still be offered a place. Candidates will receive a message from Studielink when a place has become available.
