Leadership

The Dean of Leiden University College

Overall responsibility for all LUC affairs rests with the Dean, who is appointed by the Executive Board of Leiden University at the recommendation of the Faculty Board of the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs. The Dean chairs the College Board and Board of Admissions of LUC.

College Board Leiden University College (CB)

The College Board is the executive organ of LUC and includes the functions of Dean, Educational Director, and Institute Manager. The College Board meets every other week and collectively decides upon all LUC affairs under the chairpersonship of the Dean. Decisions by the College Board that concern the community, are communicated to the staff members via email. In addition, the CB meets with LUC staff members every block in an open, townhall-style meeting.

The Educational Director and Institute Manager have specific delegated responsibilities:

• The Educational Director manages all educational affairs. This includes curriculum development and management, quality management, staff development, and educational policy development.
• The Institute Manager is responsible for HR, financial, administrative and campus affairs. She is also the supervisor of LUC’s support staff.

The College Board is supported by the Secretary to the College Board and can be contacted via collegeboard@luc.leidenuniv.nl. 

Board of Admissions Leiden University College

The College Board also functions as the Board of Admissions. Decisions on admission applications are made by the Dean on advice by the Admissions Office (assisted by a team of staff members who are involved in the admission procedure) and with the formal approval of the Faculty Board of the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs.
