Brief description: 

The Leiden University Excellence Scholarship Programme (LExS) is open to outstanding non-EEA/non-EFTA students enrolling in a full-time master’s degree programme at Leiden University.

Host Institution(s):

Leiden University in The Netherlands.

Level/Field of study:

All full-time Masters programmes at Leiden University with the exception of:

  • • Leiden Law School’s LLM (non-advanced) and MSc programmes
  • • Study programmes starting in February at the Faculty of Humanities, the Faculty of Sciences and Leiden Law School.

Number of Awards:

The number and type of award of the scholarship depends on the budget available for each Faculty department.

Target group:

Non-EEA/non-EFTA* nationals; all nationalities for certain courses (see below)

Scholarship value/duration:

The Leiden University Excellence Scholarship programme has three awards:

•  € 10.000 of the tuition fee
•  € 15.000 of the tuition fee
• Total tuition fee minus the statutory tuition fee

The LExS is not a full scholarship. Non-EEA LExS recipients must still submit ‘proof of sufficient funds’ for their student visa/residence permit application.

Eligibility:

Students must have achieved excellent study results in their previous education; this is relevant to the Master’s programme for which they are applying. As an indication, the student is among the top 10% of graduates from his or her previous study programme. Note: Proof of ranking is not required; this information is purely to indicate the level of competitiveness.
