Universiteit Leiden

My courses have all been really interesting, and the depth and breadth offered at Leiden is wonderful. There are many interdisciplinary links between courses, and the programme is structured in a way that really facilitates these. Professors are experts in their fields and are engaging and warm. There is a good amount of self-study, but this is manageable with good time management and self discipline. Both campuses in Leiden and The Hague are beautiful and centrally located with easy access to their respective cities, student facilities, and public transport.

I had the chance to interact with a diverse student body, in an environment where professors are very knowledgeable and of the highest caliber. My programme allowed me to tailor course according to my own interests through electives. Aside from the core course of my MA specialization in Global Conflict, I was able to learn about strategy in the modern world, peacebuilding, non-state armed groups and a variety of other topics that have enhanced my understanding of the world and have altered the way I perceive it.
