A Rich Array of Activities
The Bachelor Open Day at Leiden University promises a packed schedule, with activities running from 09:00 to 18:00 hours.

These events are designed to give attendees a nuanced understanding of the various bachelor’s programs on offer, including detailed insights into course content, class sizes, and the overall academic environment.
Exploring Future Student Cities

Interactive Information Markets
Each faculty at Leiden University will host an information market, featuring stands where prospective students can inquire about programs, admission requirements, and various aspects of student life.

Faculty members, study advisors, and current students will be on hand to answer questions and provide guidance[1].
Online Access for Remote Participants
Recognizing that not everyone can attend in person, Leiden University has made provisions for online participation. Select presentations will be streamed live, and online videos will be available for previewing study programs and career prospects. This ensures that no prospective student misses out on the opportunity to explore their future academic journey, regardless of geographical constraints[2].
Thematic Cafés and Specialized Sessions
A unique feature of the Open Day is the thematic cafés, where prospective students can engage in discussions on study-related topics. These sessions, some of which will be conducted in English, cover a broad range of subjects, from academic expectations to student life. The thematic cafés provide a relaxed yet informative setting for attendees to delve deeper into their areas of interest[1].
