This event is your opportunity to learn everything you need to know about our master’s programmes and how they can help you reach your goals. Attend presentations, meet our lecturers, learn about the careers of our alumni and hear first-hand the experiences of students and graduates on life at Leiden University.

Jelle and Rick: “The main reasons we’re visiting the Master’s Open Day is to talk to students and recent alumni. The website gives you a lot of information, but talking to students gives us a much better idea of what it’s really like to study this degree.”
Sophie: “I came to the Master’s Day because I have some questions that I couldn’t find answers to via the site. In my bachelor’s I am already specialising in North America, so this master’s is a good match. And next year, in the first semester, I’ll be going to Boston!”
Luuk: “Today I want to find out what it’s like to be doing a master’s, and what the real focus of the programme is. I’ve just been looking at International Relations, because I really like the dynamics of the programme. It focuses on current events, and I’m particularly impressed with the international aspects of the master’s, which I feel give it more weight.”
Nino and Elias: Nino: “I’m now doing a bachelor’s in Assyriology, and I may want to do a master’s in it too. We’ve heard that studying here is real fun. We’re from Italy but we love Holland and the Dutch.”
Dennis: Studying: pre-master’s in Dutch Literature (Vrije Universiteit), master’s in Philosophy (University of Amsterdam) Interested in: Literary Studies, Dutch Studies, Cultural Analysis: Literature and Theory.
