MSc in International Relations and Diplomacy

All LLM Advanced Studies programmes

Students must have achieved excellent academic results in their previous study programme(s), which must be relevant to the Master’s programme for which they are applying. As an indication, the student is amongst the top 10% of graduates in their previous study programme. Note that proof of ranking is not required—this information is purely to indicate the level of competitiveness.

Apply online for admission to a Master’s programme at Leiden University and pay the application fee if applicable.

Note: it can take up to 3 working days to create/submit an application for admission, so start your application well before the LExS deadline. 

After submitting your application for admission, return to the Apply screen in your online application and click on Scholarships. If you are eligible to apply for the LExS, it will now be visible in the scholarships section.

Note: if you cannot see the LExS in your scholarships section, you have either not yet submitted your application for admission, missed the deadline or are not eligible for the LExS.

    BENEFIT:

    The LExS is awarded for the duration of the study programme. There are five available levels of awards:

    € 10,000 of the tuition fee

    € 15,000 of the tuition fee

    € 17,500 of the tuition fee

    € 18,500 of the tuition fee

    € 19,000 of the tuition fee

    If and when awarded a LExS, the level of the award is final and non-negotiable. The LExS is not a full scholarship and does not cover the full cost of your studies. Always keep in mind that a significant personal contribution will be required. Non-EEA LExS recipients must still submit ‘proof of sufficient funds’ for their student visa/residence permit application.
