Active learning is one of the ambitions mentioned in the University’s educational vision (Learning@LeidenUniversity).

Each programme has a Board of Examiners. This is a legal requirement. The board determines whether students meets the conditions of the Course and Examination Regulations (OER) and whether they possess the knowledge, understanding and skills required to pass the final examination for that programme.

In an inclusive learning environment, every student feels welcome, valued and respected.
