Prerequisites
- High level (3rd or 4th year) undergraduate student
- Undergraduate level in Physics and Mathematics.
- Minimum GPA 3.4
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.
Faculty Department
Faculty of Science / Leiden Institute of Physics
The Leiden Institute of Physics (LION), consists of the Huygens-Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory, and the Institute-Lorentz. The LION is located next to the other Science Institutes of the University in the Bio-Science Park, a situation that favours interdisciplinary research projects. Its main responsibility is the education and training in research in physics of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. In addition, it is responsible for the teaching of physics on the BSc and MSc level in the Faculty of Science at Leiden University.
The research done at LION can be divided into different domains:
- Theoretical Physics (TP)
- Quantum Matter and Optics (QMO)
- Biological and Soft matter Physics (BSM
The various research groups in LION have an outstanding international reputation. They offer an excellent environment for a highly recognised education in physics.
