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?
“At Leiden University I learned to adopt a position on important issues under debate. Discussions are always keen, so you soon develop your own skills of critical thinking. This was a strong element of the master’s in Law in Leiden from the very start.”
Arwin Bos, junior staff member at Stibbe.
Why Leiden?
“Students are a tough audience, and the way I communicate with them determines how much they learn in class. My inspiration is the enthousiasm of my teachers and the skills they taught me in my master’s in Teaching Dutch.”
Annemieke Luijk, Dutch teacher.
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.
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.
