Cake in celebration of NOKUT peer review committee recommendation of candidate of psychology study

Today I had coffee and cake, by invitation, in celebration of the University of Stavanger´s stepwise progression towards establishment of a candidate of psychology study, after a peer-review committee appointed by NOKUT recommended to approve our application. I was thanked by the Dean and by the current Head of department at Department of social studies for my earlier involvement when I was Head of department, which included recruiting several of the psychology scholars currently employed.

As detailed in a University of Stavanger news story (see also a Khrono news story based on the UIS news story), a peer review committee organized by NOKUT has now advised that the UIS should be allowed to establish a candidate of psychology study. More specifically, the committee advices NOKUT to give accreditation to the study. I have earlier been involved in working with the application for establishing this study in a leadership position when I was the Head of department of Department of social studies (2021 to January 2023). The application was first sent, in its initial version, in the Autumn of 2021. I am currently involved in the application and prospective plans as a Professor of philosophy.
