In 1999, Leiden University expanded to the city of The Hague with the founding of the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs (former Campus Den Haag). As of January 1st 2011, The Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs is a fully accredited faculty of the university. The Hague is the political and administrative center of the Netherlands. It is therefore the perfect location for academic research and education in the fields of politics, public administration and international law.

Research and Education
The Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs offers a wide variety of educational programmes. These include bachelor degrees, one year taught masters, research masters, PhD programmes and continuing education courses for professionals. Furthermore, research is conducted in the fields of justice, peace and security, as well as multilevel governance.

Facing important socio-cultural issues of the 21st century like climate change, terrorism and economic crises, requires a substantial and in-depth scientific knowledge. But this knowledge alone is often not enough. At the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs these themes are studied through a combined perspective of public administration, political science, law, sociology and economics. This interdisciplinary approach gives the Faculty’s research and teaching its cross-border character.
