To do this, you should register as a guest student at Leiden University. More information and the registration form can be downloaded from:

Registration and re-registration as a student- Leiden University

  • Study advisor UL MSc Chemistry: Hilde Zwaan (msc-studyadvisor@LIC.leidenuniv.nl)
  • Study advisor UvA Chemistry:  drs. T. (Tanja) Kassenaar (studyadviser-chemistry-science@uva.nl)
  • If you are registered as a guest student, you do not need to sign an NDA.
  • After a course, your grade is recorded in Leiden University's SIS system by the course instructor.
  • At the end of a rotation a report is written in consultation with the supervisor.
  • After a rotation you have to fill in the form for a short rotation at UL (See form below, course number HRSMC short rotation UL: 4423NGS06Y). Then, your supervisor (or you) must submit the signed form to the UL Science Student Administration to register your grade.

    Important: The short rotation must be included in your study plan (extracurricular section) before submitting your grade.

  • Finally, you need to ask the UL Science Student Administration to make a transcript of your grades obtained at UL. They have to email this to the UvA FNWI Education desk.
    o    For this you need to fill in this form: https://masters.lic.leidenuniv.nl/forms/transcript-request-form. 
    o    Please select the option “For UvA/VU guest students: PDF mailed to the UvA FNWI Education desk (Servicedesk-esc-science@uva.nl)”. It’s important that you fill in your UL student email address. 
    o    The UvA FNWI Education desk will submit your grade in the UvA SIS system.
