Gloria Schildwacht
As said before, most of our students study abroad through one of our exchange programmes. Option 1.
At Leiden University we have two different kind of exchange agreements:
Faculty- and University wide agreements. [Explain differences]
Faculty agreements
- an agreement might only be open for students who study ancient history.
-Inside Europe (referred to as the Erasmus+ programme)
-Outside Europe (some faculties also have agreements outside Europe, usually in a specific field of study).
Contact:
International coordinator of your faculty
University wide agreements
-Managed by central international office (referred to as IR or SEA/SOZ)
-Generally open to all students students from Leiden University: if your faculty participates in the university wide agreement, you are allowed to apply.
-Possible to study outside your field of study at different faculties (als goedgekeurd)
-Only agreements with partner universities outside of Europe
Contact:
Rianne de Bree
Gaye Eksen,
International Relations Office
Student and Educational Affairs

14. Where can you find the exchange agreements
Here you can find all the agreements, faculty and uni-wide. “intended for” indicates for which students this partner is open. If it says “all students (university-wide)” it means that it’s managed by International Relations Office. The rest indicates the relevant faculty/programme (graag hier goed uitleggen welke partner open is voor jouw studenten).
