Study adviser or coordinator
Your study adviser or coordinator is an expert on all aspects of your study programme. If you have any questions or concerns about your programme, whether they be of a practical or academic nature, you can contact your study adviser.
Academic issues
Are you experiencing academic difficulties? Or are you falling behind in your studies due to personal circumstances? If so, it is essential that you speak to your study adviser/coordinator as soon as possible. He or she can advise you on the best course of action and, if required, assist you in dealing with study delay.
Practical issues
You can also speak to your study adviser about a range of practical issues concerning your programme, such as:
- Planning your studies
- Schedule issues
- Choosing elective credits
- Requesting exemptions
- Advice on internship
You can find the study adviser of your programme in the programme tab. If this does not appear, all contact persons per programme can also be found in the Study Programmes section of the organisational structure.
Students can contact study adviser Hilde Zwaan at msc-studyadviser@lic.leidenuniv.nl with simple questions about their programme, studying in Leiden and help with personal issues.
