The programme committee represents the opinion of all students and staff on the educational programmes offered. The committee is a joint committee as the closely related programmes MSc Chemistry and MSc Life Science and Technology share many educational aspects. The programme committee can be reached via email: OC-MSc-ChemLST@lic.leidenuniv.nl.

In the programme committee many aspects of the programs are discussed and surveys of individual courses are reviewed. Changes in the programme and procedures and new initiatives are often initiated by discussions in the programme committee. Every year in the fall the student representation is renewed. In addition to the chosen student members, the assessors of the study associations CDL and SV Life also attend the meetings. The committee provides important feedback for the programme directors, who regularly attend the meetings.
