What is T.W.I.S.T.?
T.W.I.S.T. is the study association for linguistics in Leiden. For over twenty years, we’ve been organising activities for our members that allow them to add more depth to their study and meet fellow students along the way. Some of our annual events are the study trip abroad, the T.W.I.S.T. Student Conference, and the Talengala. We also organise lectures, movie nights, game nights, borrels, and much more! Of course, we don’t do all of this by ourselves, but we are assisted by the fantastic members of our committees.
A T.W.I.S.T. membership will allow you to get to know your fellow students, as well as others who are interested in language. You will receive our magazine (the TWISTER) four times a year and will get to participate in the wide variety of activities our board and committees have to offer; maybe you’ll even join one yourself! You will also get to vote in the general assemblies. Most of all, you will make friends and have a lot of fun at T.W.I.S.T.!

Study Session
Fri 13 Dec 2024 15:00 - 17:00
Huizinga - 0.19a, Johan Huizinga-0-19a-T.W.I.S.T. boardroom (10)

The first semester is slowly coming to a close. And we all know what that means—the dreaded finals!
You are probably studying hard, and some of you might like to skip the TWea this week to focus on that. Some, however, like to study with other people around. That's why this week we have replaced the TWea with a study session.
You can still have a cup of tea, but we will aim for a quieter atmosphere with individual study. Or maybe you would like to ask higher year students to explain some material to you. All in all, we would like to cultivate a different kind of vibe on the 13th of November in Huizinga - 0.19a at 15:00.
