Choosing a degree programme also means discovering where you will be studying. Campus tours and activities are organised on every campus. Drop by the experience rooms at the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences, or explore the labs at the Faculty of Science.

Your student life doesn't only take place on campus. Leiden and The Hague will become part of your student life. Join our guide on our silent disco City Tour and discover the city, student hotspots and places you'll definitely want to know as a student. Or use your free time to explore the city on your own.

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.

• View map with locations

In Leiden:
The Leiden city centre is almost entirely licenced 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 centre within five to ten minutes. More information about the Garenmarkt parking garage (location, rates and route) can be found here (information only in Dutch). Please note that the car park may be busy on the 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. Please note that the car park may be busy on the day.

Holders of a disabled parking permit can park in public disabled parking bays. You can also apply for a free disabled parking permit in Leiden. This permit – when the new rules for street parking apply – also allows parking in parking bays for permit holders in the city centre.

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

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

Why is there an admission ticket?
Due to significant interest in the Open Day, please register in advance so that you are assured of a place at the presentation(s) of your choice. 

I accidentally deleted my admission ticket. What now?
Request a new confirmation email here.

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 email, provided there is still room in the presentation(s). If a 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 advisers at the information market.

Can I really only bring one parent/guardian?
Due to significant interest, you can 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 that 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

All presentations I would like to visit are full. Does it still make sense to come to the Open Day?
Yes! You are welcome at the information markets and theme cafés at the various faculties. Students, lecturers and/or study advisers are present to talk to and answer your questions about the programme(s) and studying at Leiden University. You can also collect all kinds of information materials here. And if you haven’t registered you can still participate in a 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 2027.

I want to change my programme or cancel my registration to the Open Day. How do I do this?
You can change your programme or unsubscribe via the link in your confirmation email.
Please note: if you adjust your programme, you will also receive a new confirmation email.

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

I accidentally deleted my admission ticket. What now?
Request a new confirmation email here. If you haven’t received anything, send an email to studielijn@leidenuniv.nl and they will send you the confirmation email as quickly as possible.

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. The links will to the presentations on the platform will be activated on Saturday from the start time of the event. You can visit the platform of the Bachelor’s 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 your 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 email. 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.
