Support for honours students

Find out how honours students at Leiden University get support, join a community or offer suggestions for improvements of honours education.

Student representative Honours Academy

Students are invited and encouraged to contact the Assessor with any questions, suggestions or ideas related to their honours education at Leiden University! We are always looking for ways to improve our education, organisation and communication. 

The Assessor represents the interests of all honours students as a member of the board of the Honours Academy. The assessor has a say in the development of policies and draws the Dean and the Educational Director's attention to the students' perspectives.

Accessibility

Do you have questions regarding the accessibility of a programma you are participating in or want to participate in? Please contact the coordinator of the specific honours programme. We look forward to investigating the possibilities together. 

Study associations for honours students

A couple of honours communities have their own study association. There is PREunion for PRE-University College students and alumni, JHV Themis for students of the Honours College Law and Spectra for the Honours College FSW. Please contact the assessor if you want to start your own association. 

Well-being and honours education

You are always welcome to contact the assessor or your honours coordinator to discuss how we can help improve your well-being as Honours Academy. Want to have tools to take more control of your mental well-being? You can take free online courses at MoodLift. 

Student psychologists

As student enrolled at Leiden University, you can also turn to student psychologists. Unfortunately, these are not available to Pre-University students. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about this.

Complaints

Do you have a complaint about something that happened during honours education? Leiden University has confidential counsellors and an ombudsperson to whom you can also address complaints about honours education. Your complaint will always be handled confidentially.
