What is LUC The HagueThe concept of Liberal Arts & Sciences is old, it goes back to the fifth Century and the very first universities in medieval Europe. This included Leiden University, the oldest university in the Netherlands, founded in 1575, where the Bachelor students studied the 'Artes Liberales'.
Leiden University College The Hague offers you a bachelor’s (honours) degree programme in Liberal Arts & Sciences, taught in English in an international environment. LUC The Hague has taken the two broad domains Peace & Justice and Sustainability as unique, profiling elements in the curriculum. Interdisciplinarity is central to all learning at LUC The Hague.
Our vision on education is that we should provide an environment in which students can learn, rather than have teachers stand in front of a class to dispense knowledge and then test whether it has been absorbed at the end of the semester. We choose for progressive, constant, and active learning that involves students at every stage.
The academic autonomy afforded by a liberal arts and sciences environment, while stimulating, also requires individualised attention and advice to ensure that students' intellectual and personal development at LUC is well-conceived, well-integrated, and fruitful. To this end, LUC has a unique tutorial support system which pairs each student with a member of the academic staff for regular contact and guidance through the three years of your BA or BSc programme.
