Learning and development
University Leiden encourages its employees to use and develop their talents. We do this by supporting you in your career and in your personal and professional development. We try to ensure that you get the opportunity to realise your full potential.
Courses
The university offers a wide range of training courses to support you in your career and your personal and professional development. There are special training courses for, amongst others, supervisors, PhD candidates, postdocs and teachers.
Coaching
Do you have a specific learning need you want to work on or would you like to exchange ideas about a problem in a small group of professional colleagues: peer-led reflection or ‘intervision’? Coaching and intervision are valuable ways to develop yourself and grow in your role as a professional.
Career guidance and mobility
Are you looking for a position that (better) matches your personal development? Through career guidance, we work together with you to explore the opportunities available both within and outside Leiden University.

Leiden University encourages academics to further develop themselves professionally, so that they can work together effectively with colleagues and students. Read about the University Teaching Qualification (BKO), Senior Teaching Qualification (SKO) and Leiden Teachers' Academy.
