Initially, the university had faculties of Theology, Law, Medicine, and Philosophy, and attracted many prominent scholars, including René Descartes and Baruch Spinoza. In the 17th century, the university became famous for its emphasis on natural sciences, and notable scientists such as Antoni van Leeuwenhoek and Christiaan Huygens were associated with it.
