During the Open Day in Leiden, shuttle buses run to the buildings on the Bio Science Park (LUMC, Van Steenis, Gorlaeus, and the lecture theatre building) and to the city centre (Kamerling Onnes building and Lipsius building).

• Check the route and stops

Sustainability is important to Leiden University. Therefore, we advise you to come to Leiden or The Hague by public transport. Parking usually is very expensive. You can also rent an OV bike at the train station! This is a fun way to get to know the city. In Leiden you can also hop on a shuttle bus which will run throughout the Open Day with drop-off points close to all of the faculties.

In Leiden:
The Leiden city center is almost entirely licensed parking. It is best (and cheaper) to park your car in a parking garage. Park in the Garenmarkt parking garage and walk to the Open Day locations in the city center within five to ten minutes. More information about Garenmarkt parking garage (location, rates and route) can be found here (information only in Dutch). Take into account that the car park may be busy on this day

Are you visiting the Open Day locations at the Bio Science Park? Then park in the parking garage Ehrenfestweg, easily accessible from the A44 via Plesmanlaan. There are no parking spaces on the public road. More information about Parking Garage Ehrenfestweg (location, rates and route) can be found here. Take into account that the car park may be busy on this day

Holders of a disabled people parking permit can park on public disabled people parking places.  You can also apply for a free disabled person parking permit in Leiden. With this permit you can - when the new rules for street parking apply – also park on permit holders parking places in the city centre.

In The Hague:
The center of The Hague is easily accessible by public transport. The university locations of the Open Day are within a 5-minute walk of the Central Station in The Hague. Are you coming by car? The Hague has several parking garages and parking lots spread across the city.

1. I have not received a confirmation ticket, what now?
You'll receive a confirmation e-mail directly after you'll register for the Open Day. Check your spam box to see if the confirmation mail has ended up there. If it is not there, request your confirmation mail.

2. Why is there a confirmation ticket?
Due to the great interest in the Open Day, it is important to register in advance so that you are assured of a place at the presentation(s) of your choice. 

3. I accidentally deleted my admission ticket, what now?
Request a new confirmation mail here.

4. Do I have to bring my printed ticket with me?
You can also show the ticket on your phone.

1. I have indicated that I will not bring a parent/guardian with me, but I want to change this. Is that possible?
You can adjust this via the link in your confirmation mail, provided there is still room in the presentation(s). If a certain presentation is already full, your parent/guardian may not be able to attend this presentation. Your parent/guardian can then wait for you with a cup of coffee or talk to students or advisors on the information market.

2. Can I really only bring one parent/guardian?
Due to the great interest, you can really only bring one parent/guardian to the presentations. However, you can visit the information market with two parents and one parent can wait with a cup of coffee while the other parent accompanies you during the presentation.

You can register for a minimum of one and a maximum of three presentations in the registration form.
The form indicates when you cannot select certain presentations if:

• you have already chosen the presentation of the same study programme at a different time
• you have already chosen the presentation of another study programme at that time
• the travel distance between two successive presentations (and two different locations) is too far to make it to the next presentation in time

1. All presentations I would like to visit are full. Does it still make sense to come to the Open Day?
You are most welcome at the information markets and theme cafes at the various faculties. Students, lecturers and/or study advisors are present here to talk to and answer your questions about the programme(s) and studying at Leiden University. You can also collect all kinds of information material here. And without registration you can also participate in a swinging city walk through Leiden and/or The Hague.

Some presentations are also available online. Check out the online sessions and sign up, or come to the Bachelor’s Open Day on 7 March 2026.

1. I have not received a confirmation ticket, what now?

How do I access the Bachelor's Online Open Day platform?
You’ll receive a confirmation mail immediately after registration. In this mail you will see the  sessions that you have chosen and a link to the online platform. Only from Saturday from the start time of the event the links to the presentations on the platform will be activated. So you can visit the platform of the Bachelor Online Open Day earlier, but the live sessions will only start on the day itself.

What device can I best use to visit the platform?
We advise against using a mobile phone or tablet to access the platform. For the best user experience use a PC or laptop with Google Chrome as browser. Make sure you have the latest version of Chrome and that you have a stable network connection that isn’t being used by others. 

What should I do if I can’t see the presentations on the platform?
First check that your computer has a stable connection. If you still can’t see any presentations, refresh the page or reopen the link from your confirmation mail. Visitors from certain countries may find that the streaming tool that we are using for the presentations is blocked by their government. In that case, they won’t be able to see the presentations.

Can I watch a presentation that I haven’t registered for?
Yes! On the platform you will see all the presentations that are currently being given. You can watch these presentations without having to register first.

Can I watch presentations later?
No, the presentations are not recorded and can therefore only be viewed during the Open Day on November 1st.
