Extracurricular
Get the most out of your studies at Leiden University by taking part in our extracurricular activities.
Beyond Discipline and Place
Would you like to have the opportunity to examine how scholars in the academic fields of the Social Sciences and the Humanities (including Archaeology and Law) locate their work in relation to disciplinary conventions, reflect on their socio-political position as researchers in relation to their research, and explore choices of discipline and place along their career path?
Then you might be interested in attending this interdisciplinary series of lectures and seminar discussions which is open in the fall of each year to PhD candidates and Research MA students at Dutch Universities and LeidenGlobal partner institutions.
Leiden Leadership Programme
Are you interested in developing your leadership potential? The Leiden Leadership Programme (LLP) is an Honours Programme specifically developed for ambitious master's students at Leiden University and the Delft University of Technology who recognise the importance of leadership abilities. The LLP offers in-depth training sessions, assessments, seminars, and the creation of a Personal Leadership Roadmap – a five-year plan for reaching and developing your leadership potential.
Lectures
The Leiden Institute of Area Studies, The International Institute for Asian Studies, The Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asia and Caribbean Studies (KITLV) and The Leiden University Centre for the Study of Islam and Society regularly organize lectures of relevance for those interested in Asia.
Study and student associations also organize extra-curricular educational and social activities such as such as parties and film nights, lectures, workshops and much more. Joining a study association is a great way to get to know fellow students and teachers outside of the academic setting.
