Leiden University Centre for Linguistics (LUCL) is one of seven institutes housed within the Faculty of Humanities.

It offers excellent opportunities for both researchers and students alike to study a wide variety of the world’s languages. The Academic Language Centre, as part of LUCL, provides language services to university students and staff but also to individuals and groups outside the university.
