Welcome programme for master's students at the Faculty of Psychology
Here's your programme for the start of the semester — events during and after the welcome week, around campus and Bergen.
Main content
How to read the programme
Each item is marked (important) — try to make it — or (social) — optional and just for fun.
Check when your programme starts. The academic year begins Monday 10 August, but welcome meetings and lectures for your programme may start later. Find your start date and time under "New student?" on your study programme page (Global Development: Theory and Practice).
The Master's Buddy Week arranges joint events for all master's students at the faculty during the start of the semester. The programme will appear on this page when it's ready.
Remember the practical things you must arrange — semester fee, registration, student card and more — in your checklist in UiBtreet, UiB's student portal.
