What is Urban Studies?

Do cities fascinate you? Would you like to gain insights into the nature and origin of current and future problems and learn more about, and perhaps help solve, cities’ health, safety, multicultural and sustainability issues? Are you unfazed by statistics and economics? Read more about the programme.

Then the new English-language Bachelor programme Urban Studies at Leiden University in The Hague is the right choice for you. In an international classroom you will be addressing current issues and solutions, combining insights from different disciplines like humanities, social sciences, law and science.

If you want to find out more about Urban Studies sign up for the Experience Day on February 10.
