Leiden University is a public institution that was founded in 1575, making it the oldest university in the Netherlands. It is located in the city of Leiden, with facilities just a few miles away in The Hague as well. Students from countries outside the European Union and European Economic Area, with the exception of Swiss and Surinamese students, pay higher tuition. The university does not operate its own student housing, but the school housing office helps international students secure accommodations managed by an outside organization.The university has seven main academic divisions: archaeology, governance and global affairs, humanities, law, medicine, science, and social and behavioral sciences. In all, the university offers upward of 40 bachelor’s and 70 master’s programs. Most Leiden University bachelor’s programs are taught in Dutch, though a handful of English-taught programs are available. The primary language of instruction for graduate programs is English. The university’s academic calendar is semester-based. Leiden University has 11 research focus areas, including brain function and dysfunction over the lifespan, interaction between legal systems and language diversity in the world. The university is involved with the Leiden Bio Science Park – a cluster of more than 170 businesses, research institutes and other organizations focused in large part on drug research and development. Some of the university’s facilities are located in the science park, including the faculties of science and social sciences, as well as the Leiden University Medical Center.
