Institute for History Annual Report 2010 - O - Universiteit Leiden

Leiden is home to other libraries and instances
which are involved in the study of the world
outside Europe and which belong to the largest in
their fields in Europe. The Leiden MA and MPhil
programmes offer students from within and
outside the Netherlands thorough training in the
use of these primary sources while they are
carrying out their research. A follow-on PhD track
is also offered, with a clearly recognizable
individual character. In this way, the history
department has created a niche for itself in the
field of global history focusing on the search for
connections and the origins of the migration and
transfer of people, beliefs, goods and ideas within
and among the continents.
