Universiteit Leiden

The University itself seems quite organized and informs very often and on time about recent news. Especially as an international student I always felt welcomed and it is not a problem if you can´t speak Dutch, every employee is very friendly and can switch to English immediately. 

Concerning my track Social and Organisational Psychology, I want to say that there is a bigger focus on Social Psychology, which is in my opinion good to know beforehand.

The fact that my degree is based on four areas of studies being cultural studies, history, politics and economics, allowed me to assemble multiple point of views to tackle one complex issue. However, endeavours such as decoloniality and/or inclusivity are not fully achieved yet based on my experience.

The majority of the courses are well-structured and in line with my expectations. The campus is in the middle of the city, giving access to a variety of cafés, and tourist spots but also shops and libraries.
