Leiden University
speciality: Law

The Leiden Law Faculty welcomes students from across the globe, offering a well-rounded legal education across diverse specializations. What sets it apart are its professors—not just experts in their fields, but passionate educators with real-world experience.

Beyond the classroom, the faculty buzzes with opportunities: guest lectures, study groups, and networking events that enrich your learning. The courses themselves strike the perfect balance—clearly structured, packed with relevant material, and designed to prepare you thoroughly for exams. Whether you’re drawn to theory or practice, Leiden ensures you graduate with both deep knowledge and actionable skills.

Doing my masters there, the uni offers a comprehensive program, covering all aspects of international law. Classes are taught by world renowned professors in an extremely interesting approach. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a law degree.

The Law faculty in Leiden offers studies for students all over the world. It offers comprehensive studies on various topics. The professors are very engaging and have a lot of experience in their field besides teaching.
I liked how there are many events, study groups and other activities you can take part in.
The courses are provided with a lot of information, so you know what you can expect from the exams. They are well structured and balanced, focusing both on practical and theoretical knowledge.

The university is overly bureaucratic, except for when it suits the university itself. Professors have no interest in teaching and the quality of the education is subpar. Grades always come back late… but woe to the student who is a minute late. There is no sense of empathy among the faculty or any sense of parttime students having work or family commitments. The university only caters to those fresh out of secondary school. If you want a solid education, and a faculty that encourages independent thought and independent students- stay away! Go elsewhere!
