Research Profile Areas: Focus on Interdisciplinary 

 

Leiden University has opted to concentrate its research activities in 11 research profile areas that transcend the traditional boundaries between specialist fields and faculties. These research profile areas offer opportunities for top-level fundamental research, but also reflect key areas of debate in contemporary society. Our aim in focusing on these themes is to enhance the visibility of crucial research areas, as well as to increase the cohesion between these areas. This strategy is designed to create and maintain a stronger basis for acquiring research funding. 

  • The research profile areas are:
  • Asian modernities and traditions
  • Bioscience: the science base of health
  • Brain function and dysfunction
  • Fundamentals of Science
  • Global Interaction of people, culture and power through the ages
  • Health, prevention and the human life cycle
  • Interaction between legal systems
  • Language diversity in the world
  • Political Legitimacy: institutions and identities
  • Translational drug discovery and development
  • Vascular and regenerative medicine

Integration of Research and teaching: Teaching at Leiden University is closely integrated with research. We believe that a complete educational programme comprises a bachelor's and a master's stage. The master's stage has a one-year master's programme and a challenging two-year research master's variant.  These constitute the preparation for the following stage: the PhD.  


Strategic partnerships: Leiden University collaborates in a wide range of partnerships, through which we are able to amass expertise across the borders of disciplines and academic fields. Interdisciplinary collaboration is not restricted to scientific fields within the University; we also have partnerships with other research institutions, non-profit organisations, government authorities and the business sector.
