Webster University

Webster Leiden’s distinguished professors encourage you to grow intellectually, emotionally, and socially. You will be encouraged to engage in stimulating class discussions, help organize field trips, and be actively involved in learning. Assignments focus on real-world situations and case studies to make learning exciting and relevant. Faculty have real world experience in the subjects they teach. One example is Dr. Fatos Tarifa, the Albanian Ambassador to the Court to The Netherlands, who teaches history and politics. Another is Professor Phyllis Hamilton, Deputy Secretary General of the Permanent Court of Arbitration at the Peace Palace in the Hague, who teaches international law and business.

In addition to our outstanding undergraduate programs, Webster in Leiden offers a highly respected master of business administration program, as well as other master’s programs in management, international business, and international relations.
