Student Reviews
Representative reviews"Exceeded expectations"
I was sceptical before starting — now I'd recommend it to anyone. The best part: the cohort are bright and motivated, which makes the learning environment great. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years. On the city — housing is the one real problem: start looking months before arrival. Overall, if you're considering Middle Eastern Studies at Universiteit Leiden, I'd say go for it.
"Genuinely worthwhile"
The course has exceeded my expectations. The best part: small-group tutorials really push your thinking. If I'm honest, accommodation allocation was stressful in the first year. On the city — everything works — public transport, cycling, healthcare, admin. Overall, if you're considering Middle Eastern Studies at Universiteit Leiden, I'd say go for it.
"Good but not perfect"
Would I choose it again? Probably yes, with caveats. The best part: the opportunity to do independent research in the final year is a highlight. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years. On the city — English is universal; you don't need Dutch for the first year. Overall, if you're considering Middle Eastern Studies at Universiteit Leiden, I'd say go for it.
"Highly recommend"
This is the perfect place to study this subject. The best part: the course strikes a good balance between theory and practical application. If I'm honest, admin can be slow to respond, especially at start of term. On the city — housing is the one real problem: start looking months before arrival. Overall, if you're considering Middle Eastern Studies at Universiteit Leiden, I'd say go for it.
