At graduation, you will receive an MA degree in History from Leiden University and a certificate from the Europaeum, an association of leading European universities. The programme provides you with a broad yet in-depth knowledge of the processes, thoughts, values and ideas that helped constitute Europe from medieval to modern times.

Programme

This one-year programme is divided into trimesters. The first trimester you will be taking courses at Leiden, the second at Paris I and the third at Oxford.

Besides following the regular curriculum, you will also be given the opportunity to take part in the academic and social life of each of the three institutions.

The total amount will be approximately € 5,000 for EU students and € 15,000 for Non-EU students. A maximum of 10 places will be made available on this programme each year.
