Scholarship Description: For excellent Non-EU/EEA students enrolling in a Leiden University
master’s degree programme and for excellent students from all nationalities
enrolling in a Master of Law Advanced Programme or MSc in International
Relations and Diplomacy. Students should be aware that the LExS is not a
full scholarship. It is necessary to find additional funding to be able to
finance their study and stay completely. One of the requirements for being
granted a residence permit in the Netherlands is that students must submit
proof that they have sufficient financial means to finance their study period
in the Netherlands. Leiden University advises a budget, not including
the tuition fee, of approx. €10,000 to €14,000 per year to cover the costs for
rent, insurance, living expenses, course books and local transportation. How
much money students actually spend will of course depend on their life style
and spending habits.
