Campus The Hague in the picture

26 August 2019

Leiden University turned 444 this year, and we are celebrating this milestone with the residents of the two cities in which we have a presence: Leiden and The Hague. An exhibition about the University and its connections with the city opens in the Atrium of City Hall in The Hague on 2 September.

The exhibition, which consists of large poster panels, is free for all visitors to City Hall in The Hague. They are given a glimpse of the world of our Campus The Hague, which turns 20 this year. We have selected the most striking pictures.

Prince Willem-Alexander opens a new building in Schouwburgstraat in 2012.
Wijnhaven, a modern research and teaching building in Turfmarkt, opened in 2017.
Students living in Anna van Buerenplein hang out of their windows. This is the location of Leiden University College The Hague.
Once a year, Urban Trail entrants run criss-cross through buildings in The Hague. This summer's edition included our Wijnhaven building.
Many students in The Hague like to give something back to the city. Here University College students help out at a community project at Johan de Witt School.
Our students in The Hague are regularly given lectures by interesting guest speakers: here Jens Stoltenberg, Secretary General of NATO.
Municipal councillors visit Wijnhaven. There have always been strong links with local politics.
Caps in the air! A new generation of Leiden University College students graduate.
