Computer Science (MSc)
Required documents
When you apply for admission, you’ll be asked to submit several documents.
Note: If you have a Dutch diploma that grants direct admission, you will generally not be asked to submit additional documents.
Note: Students from a Dutch university of applied sciences (HBO) must use the template placement letter as explained on the page Pre-Master’s.
Required application documents
You’ll need to submit the following documents:
Language proficiency (if applicable)
You can apply for admission before receiving the results of your English language test. However, a sufficient result will then be a condition of your eventual admission. Of course, if you already have your English language test results, you can upload them directly.
Copies of diplomas and transcripts
- Digital copies of diplomas and transcripts are initially required. Once you have been admitted, we will inform you how to submit certified copies.
- The documents must be in the original language. If they are not in English, Dutch, German or French, they must be accompanied by official translations into one of these languages.
- If you have not yet completed your current programme, state your expected graduation date and submit copies of all transcripts obtained to date plus a list of subjects still to be completed.

In this letter you are asked to explain in writing that you possess the same level of knowledge, understanding and skills as applicants who are holding a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Artificial Intelligence in the Netherlands and that you have accumulated at least 90 ECTS (or the equivalent thereof) in courses and projects belonging to the domain of Computer Science.
See courses and projects that are taught in the Leiden BSc degree programme in Computer Science for your reference. Based on this list you can check if you meet the admission requirement mentioned above.
Please note that if you would like to apply for a scholarship with this programme, you may need to upload additional documents with your application. Please inform yourself here.
