Prerequisites
- High level (3rd or 4th year) undergraduate student
- Minimum GPA 3.4
- Knowledge of basic research design, statistical analysis (e.g. ANOVA, linear regression).
Important note:
Students must remain registered as an undergraduate student at their U.S. or Canadian home institution while participating in the program. The student's home institution must complete the Learning Agreement after acceptance into a project, even if credits will not be transferred to that institution. Transfer of credits is decided by the students' home institution.
Submitting an application, does not guarantee that the student will be offered a placement. The research projects are also available to our domestic degree students; therefore, projects may already be full at the time of applying. Final decision on your admission is solely taken by the Research Supervisor at the host institution.

The Cognitive Psychology Unit has two main research lines, which focus on basic cognitive (neuro)science and applied cognitive psychology.
The research within our unit aligns with the strategic mission of the Psychology Institute, by:
- fostering collaboration between different units,
- stimulating diverse career paths,
- implementing open science practices,
- using interdisciplinary research methods
- conducting translational research.
Most of our research is carried out within the Leiden Institute for Brain and Cognition (LIBC). The research fits with the University Research Profile ‘Social Resilience and Security’, the FSW research themes ‘Digitalisation and technological innovations’ and ‘Climate Change’ and the research topic of the Psychology Institute ‘Socio-Cognitive-Affective Decision-making’.
