Leiden University frequently reviews the quality of its research. We do this by means of both internal and external assessments. Read how we monitor and assess the quality of our research.

Higher-education institutions must be assessed and accredited once every six years to ensure they provide a high standard of education. You may be asked to speak to the assessment panel during the institutional audit.

Working effectively

The quality of our programmes is monitored continuously. The assessments are conducted both by external experts and by our institutions and programmes. We use these evaluations of education to further improve our programmes.
