The information below is subject to change as the course is still being developed. The information will be made definite in June 2027.
Free elective space
The elective space should be concentrated in the first semester of the academic year. However, in certain cases – for instance in case of a study delay or an individual study plan confirmed by the study adviser – the electives can be spread over both semesters.
In some cases, official approval for adding elective courses to the bachelor’s programme SfSS must be obtained from the Board of Examiners.
There are three possible options to fill the elective space:
A minor from Leiden University or another Dutch university
A package of electives compiled from courses offered by Leiden University or other Dutch universities
Studying abroad
Students taking two Bachelor’s programmes at Leiden University can apply for an exemption from (part of) the free elective space of the SfSS bachelor’s programme.
If you have completed more elective courses than the mandatory 30 ECTS, the ‘surplus’ of courses can be added to ’Extracurricular education’ in uSis.
