Please note that this guide applies to the current academic year, which means that the curriculum for next year may slightly differ. Jos Schaeken Professor of Slavic and Baltic Languages There is a growing need for specialists in Russian language and culture. A major player I want to stimulate young people to make unorthodox study choices such as the MA in Russian and Eurasian Studies. There is a need for specialists in these areas. Russia is an emerging economy that is going to become a major player, just like China, India and Brazil. Russia is also very close by and 4

5 already our partners in the sphere of culture. It is extremely important that people have knowledge of the language and culture of Russia if they are going to work with or come into contact with this country in the future." East European Law "This programme attracts top students with a good knowledge of Russian and English. Leiden offers these students a very strong and broad academic foundation. An attractive feature of the master s is that students can choose subjects from the Master s in Russian Area Studies, such as history, politics, economics and East European law. East European Law is offered by very few places in Europe. Studying this complementary subject is a real challenge but one that delivers great rewards." Slavic Linguistics and Russian Literature "Leiden works closely with the University of Amsterdam to offer students a complete programme in Slavic Linguistics and Russian Literature. Students must do at least one course at this sister university. We also encourage students to spend part of their study time abroad. Mark Rutgers Dean Many of our master s students discover the quality of our programmes only after they join us. In the Netherlands, selfpromotion is not a big part of our culture, yet Leiden University s Humanities Faculty ranks alongside the most prestigious universities in the world, and is the established leader in continental Europe. What can our students expect from this programme? An education on par with the world s best, with teaching by top researchers. Alumni: close-knit global community Your graduation from a master s programme marks a new chapter in your relationship with Leiden University.

6 Research: encouraging you to think beyond your own discipline Some of the most high-profile humanities research produced today is conducted at Leiden University s Humanities Faculty.

One example is our centre of excellence on Native American cultures, languages and history a research group that is one of the best in the world. At Leiden, we can offer students expertise in most niche areas of interest. Our faculty members often work together across disciplines, and encourage students to think beyond the limits of their own discipline, which is where the future of innovative research lies. Careers: opportunities to develop your talent Decisions made during your studies have a big impact on your future. We offer you many opportunities to develop your talents both within and outside of the classroom, including internships, study trips abroad, student committees, and minors.
