Founded in 1575, Leiden University is the OLDEST university in the Netherlands — established by William of Orange. ~34,000 students. LERU member. 16 Nobel laureates associated (including Einstein, who held a special professorship; Lorentz; Kamerlingh Onnes who first liquefied helium and discovered superconductivity here). The Dutch royal family has traditionally studied at Leiden.
Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
endorsement.
Why this is free
AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to
help people find their way to education — and the wider project
supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in
Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
