About this event

Webster Leiden Campus in the Netherlands is one of the four international campuses of Webster University located in Europe (Geneva, Vienna, Leiden, and Athens). It is the only American-accredited University in the Netherlands that offers both BA/BS (undergraduate) and MA/MBA (graduate) education, and the campus was inaugurated in 1983. Since Webster began offering American degrees in the Netherlands, almost 3,000 students have graduated from the Leiden campus. Our alumni work for many of the most prestigious and interesting companies and organizations in the world.

This year, we are celebrating a big milestone of our 40th year anniversary with an academic conference of The World Now (2023) and the World Then (1983)

Organized by

For the past thirty-five years, Webster Leiden Campus continues to be the only University in the Netherlands offering an American degree to Graduate students.

A recent student poll revealed student appreciation for: small class size (average of 12 students), specialized attention from professors, flexibility of online option, evening classes, and engaging class format with seminars and case studies. Webster program graduates can be found in the Netherlands and around the world and are part of the Webster Global Alumni Network. Graduates from our programs earn a diploma from our main campus Webster University in St. Louis (USA). Due to our status as an American University, we ensure quality courses conducted in English.

Graduates from our university qualify for the "orientation year" in the Netherlands giving them an extra year after graduation to find job opportunities post-graduation.
