You will be informed in due course about the logistics of the various evaluations.<br />
For all evaluations, questionnaires are used, with a series of closed and open<br />
questions. Phrase your answers clearly and in a constructive manner towards<br />
concrete, achievable improvement. Be specific, make suggestions and don’t<br />
forget to indicate what is going well!<br />
External Education<br />
You can take courses for credit at Leiden University, or at another university in<br />
the Netherlands or abroad. This is usually only possible from your second year<br />
onwards, as you should use your first year to explore your intellectual interests<br />
within the <strong>LUC</strong> curriculum. Information on courses at Leiden University can be<br />
found in the e-Prospectus at Leiden University; other universities have similar<br />
catalogues on their websites. <strong>The</strong> courses offered by the Honours College at Leiden<br />
University are especially interesting to explore, but note that no more than<br />
30EC gained from external courses can count towards the 180EC necessary for<br />
graduation from <strong>LUC</strong>.<br />
If you are considering an external course offering, first discuss this with your<br />
tutor to evaluate the fit of this course with your overall academic trajectory and<br />
time-table at <strong>LUC</strong>. Once you have determined that the external course is indeed<br />
suitable for your enrolment, file a request for external education with the <strong>LUC</strong><br />
Examinations Committee by e-mailing excie@luc.leidenuniv.nl, cc’ing your<br />
tutor. Once you have permission from the Examinations Committee, you can<br />
proceed to register for the course. Please note that it is possible that the host<br />
programme will have to approve as well! If you would like to take a course at a<br />
different university, you may be asked to provide proof of registration at Leiden<br />
University. You can request this proof from the Student Information Desk or by<br />
e-mailing studentaffairs@luc.leidenuniv.nl.<br />
If you are considering a semester abroad, check the eligibility criteria, application<br />
guidelines, and submission deadlines on the <strong>LUC</strong> website for the semester<br />
abroad programme, and discuss possibilities with your tutor in good time.<br />
Logistical questions can be directed to the <strong>LUC</strong> Study Abroad and Student<br />
Exchange Officer, Irene van der Wal, either in person at the Student Affairs Office<br />
or via e-mail at studyabroad@luc.leidenuniv.nl.<br />
