Leiden University College The Hague (LUC) is a small interdisciplinary Liberal Arts and Sciences honours college, part of the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs of Leiden University. The institution's curriculums focus on tackling global challenges, such as peace and justice, sustainability, prosperity and diversity.[6]

The college is housed in a single building that stands beside Den Haag Centraal Railway Station in The Hague, Netherlands. The college has a residential concept in which students typically live on campus for the first two years of the programme.

It is a member of the European Colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences.[7]

The first year of the study programme consists of foundational classes in global challenges and skills such as academic writing and statistics. After the first year, students specialise in one of six majors which will determine their degree:[8]

  • Culture, History, Society (BA)
  • International Justice (BA)
  • World Politics (BA)
  • Earth, Energy and Sustainability (BSc)
  • Global Public Health (BSc)
  • Governance, Economics and Development (BSc)

Accreditation and rankings

[edit]

The programme is accredited by the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO).[9]

As Leiden University College The Hague is part of Leiden University, it does not participate in international rankings on its own. The study programme has been awarded a "top rated programme" seal by Dutch education evaluator Keuzegids.[10][11] In 2021, Keuzegids ranked LUC The Hague as the highest-rated university college and the third-highest rated bachelor's programme in the Netherlands.[12]

Notable staff

[edit]

Some faculty of LUC The Hague are notable for their achievements in academia, journalism, law or politics.[13]

The college also has several Distinguished Fellows, who are not employed full-time at the institution but contribute to the programme via guest lectures, thesis supervision and advice.[15]
