It’s been a demanding last three weeks. Suddenly, within one weekend, our university moved to interacting online. Meetings, classes, social gatherings, it’s all via a screen.
We understand the unfortunate uncertainty surrounding study abroad from September 2020. We are assuming it will proceed as usual, but it is currently impossible to know for sure if all travel restrictions will have been lifted.
The Leiden University Career Services advise students and recent graduates on the transition from study to first job and offer guidance on study choice and career questions in the bachelor and master. We want to continue doing this in these unpredictable times and that is why we want to invite you to our Online Career Week from 11 to 15 May. Save the Date
From now on, the Coordinators of Studies of International Studies will restart the Open Consultation Hours, on Monday to Friday from 12.30-13.30 hrs. CET on Skype.
We live in uncertain times, isolated in our homes or student rooms. How to deal with a situation like this, in particular for those of you far away from your family, your loved ones? Currently we have no idea about the length of social distancing but at least until 28 April 2020.
A few months ago I wrote about the walls we build between ourselves in a blog post on this website. In the current situation, with the Coronavirus going around, we are faced with yet another barrier: physical distance. What does that mean for how we interact in our International Studies Programme?
In complex times like the ones we are currently living in, one might wonder whether writing about the mid-term evaluations outcome is still an essential topic for the Newsletter of our Programme. A short answer to that is yes, it is.
We know that students are eagerly awaiting more news about the way the various courses that normally would have had exams, will now be assessed, and we appreciate your patience.
Make sure to check the webpages below regularly on news & information surrounding the Corona virus & its impact on Leiden University and studying.
Choosing an area and a language is a very important moment for students in their first year of International Studies. The Programme Board of International Studies was curious to learn more about what influences students’ decisions in this regard. We also wanted to find out if there is more the programme can do to assist. That is why we asked our first-year students about their choice through a survey. An impressive total of 217 students responded (many thanks to all!). Below you will find an overview of the results.
