The Study Advisors
The Study Advisors form an important link between the Leiden Law School and the student. They encourage and advise students in setting goals and making responsible choices. In this way, they contribute to efficient student progress (intake, throughput, and graduation) and serve as a bridge to other parts of Leiden University that are involved in student support. The Study Advisors provide targeted support to students with personal problems and circumstances and are visible and accessible.
An appointments with a Study Advisor can be made via the OIC (071 527 8787). There are also weekly open walk-in and telephone consultation hours.
