Leiden University - Faculty of Humanities

Discover the world at the Faculty of Humanities.

In this era of globalisation, humanities are more important than ever. Migration, integration, trade, and technology are blurring the borders between countries and cultures. To be able to cooperate and live together, it is crucial that we understand each other. Humanities offer the insights we need to do this.

Research and education range from languages, cultures, area studies to history, philosophy, arts, and religious studies. We are driven by passion and curiosity about the world around us. We offer high ranking BA, MA and PhD programmes in these areas.
