Why Leiden?
“I work for an intercultural psychiatric institution. My working language there is Iraqi. Although Iraqi is my native language, I have never actually learned the technical jargon in Iraqi. In such a situation you have to have a really thorough basic knowledge of your profession. That basis is what I learned in the Clinical Psychology programme.”
Kurdistan Aziz, psychologist at i-psy.
Why Leiden?
“I spent a lot of time working in study groups. I learned to work very precisely, to set boundaries and to manage the team’s expectations. If you prepare well, you can make sure that people are interested. There was a strong focus on this during my master’s in Biomedical Sciences.”
Tessa Heemskerk–Ouwehand, Clinical Research Associate at Quintiles.
Why Leiden?
“Hyves is the Netherlands’ biggest social media site. As such a huge amount of data is transmitted, you need a lot of servers. During my master’s in Computer Science I learned to resolve problems using large numbers of interconnected computers. It’s experience I am now reaping the benefits of.”
Cor Cornelisse, Systems Engineer at Hyves.
Why Leiden?
“I was able to immediately put into practice what I had learned during the Political Science programme at Campus The Hague. The study gave me a much better understanding of how decision-making and power relations work. All of my fellow students, like myself, had both life and work experience.”
Elly van der Wijk, Policy Adviser at the Dutch Council for the Judiciary.
Why Leiden?
“Statistical Science for the Life and Behavioural Sciences is the only master’s specialisation in the Netherlands to offer a complete programme that includes statistical research methods for almost every field. And statisticians are scarce, so they are in great demand.”
Maarten Kampert, master’s student.
