Timetables

The link to the timetables of the lectures and exams can be found underneath the course description in our online course catalogue Prospectus. Once you’re enrolled for the courses, it will be possible to view your personal course timetable in uSis. In your personal uSis timetable, lectures are indicated with LEC and exams are marked with EXAM.

Course clash?

To avoid course clashes, you may need to change courses after being enrolled for the courses you selected. Please make sure to check if any of the courses and/or exams in your personal schedule have an overlap. If you have courses in Leiden and The Hague, make sure you have enough time to travel from or to The Hague. Please contact your exchange coordinator in case you encounter a course clash and provide her with an alternative course selection:

Leids kwartiertje

All lectures have a so called ‘Leids kwartiertje’: an academic quarter. This is the quarter-hour (15 minute) difference between the defined start time for a lecture or lesson in the timetable and the actual starting time. This means that lessons start 15 minutes late to give students the opportunity to walk (or bike) from one building to another between classes.
