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.”

“At the bank I have contact with many different departments and the trick is to get them all in line, for example by making complex material easier. In my master’s in History I learned to look at theories from all sides and to arrive at the core from my own interpretation.”

“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.”
