Support for honours students
Find out how honours students at Leiden University get support, join a community or offer suggestions for improvements.
Student representative Honours Academy (assessor)
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.
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.
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.
As student enrolled at Leiden University, you can also turn to specialists that stand ready to help you. This includes psychologists*, confidential counsellors and the ombuds officer. Anything can be discussed confidentially, including complaints about our education.
Would you like to know more about mental well-being and get tools to improve yours? Through MoodLift, you can take free online courses.
*Please note that the psychologists are not available to Pre-University students. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about this.
Accessibility and honours education
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.
Study associations for honours students
Do you want to be closer to your fellow students? A couple of programmes have their own study association. There is PREunion for PRE-University College students and alumni, and JHV Themis for students of the Honours College Law.
Do you consider founding your own honours study association? Feel free to contact the assessor (student representative) of the Honours Academy! They can think along and help you get in touch with the right people.
