[Explain differences] Faculty agreements - an agreement might only be open for students who study ancient history. -Inside Europe (referred to as the Erasmus+ programme) -Outside Europe (some faculties also have agreements outside Europe, usually in a specific field of study). Contact: International coordinator of your faculty University wide agreements -Managed by central international office (referred to as IR or SEA/SOZ) -Generally open to all students students from Leiden University: if your faculty participates in the university wide agreement, you are allowed to apply. -Possible to study outside your field of study at different faculties (als goedgekeurd) -Only agreements with partner universities outside of Europe Contact: International Relations Office Student and Educational Affairs

Where can you find the exchange agreements Here you can find all the agreements, faculty and uni-wide. “intended for” indicates for which students this partner is open. If it says “all students (university-wide)” it means that it’s managed by International Relations Office. The rest indicates the relevant faculty/programme (graag hier goed uitleggen welke partner open is voor jouw studenten). https://www.leidenuniv.nl/soz/buitenland/search-exchange-agreements.html
