We are proud and happy to announce that De Leidsche Flesch will receive the Royal Medal of Honour! Two years ago, we applied for this special award and soon, on the 102nd anniversary of the association (25 April 2025), the time has come! 

25 April is not only a special day for De Leidsche Flesch, but also for Leiden. On this day, the ribbon-cutting ceremony also takes place. In a full Hooglandse church, Leiden citizens will be put in the limelight and De Leidsche Flesch will be one of them this year. 

This beautiful occasion will take place from 09:30 at the Hooglandse Kerk (Nieuwstraat 20, 2312KZ). We hope to welcome you there to celebrate De Leidsche Flesch's 100th anniversary in a big way once again!

Note: Members and Alumni of Merit will have priority for this activity.

As a student you might know what you do for your study, but your parents probably don’t have any clue yet. Therefore, it is time that they will experience how it is to be put in the lecture seats and what it means to study at our faculty!

The Guardians’ day organised on Saturday the 24th of May will be the perfect opportunity for this. De Leidsche Flesch organises a programme where you can show your parents what we do at the university. The day program, including lunch, is completely free. The walk-in starts at 9:30 AM and the lectures start at 10:00 AM. The day's program ends at 5:00 PM (just like your parents’ average work schedule!). Afterwards there will be a BBQ (max. 7 euro) and drinks where you can compete in a pubquiz together with your parents! Enroll yourselves and your parents here now!
