Studying with a chronic illness
A chronic illness is a long-term and persistent health condition that can impact your learning at Leiden University.
The symptoms of a chronic illness vary with the illness - for some, this includes chronic pain, fatigue, experiencing side effects of medication, or mental health concerns. This means that studying with a chronic illness may require additional time and effort. Many students study successfully and accomplish many things despite their diagnosis. Leiden University has a range of study adjustments available to support you throughout your studies.
