Programme Committee Psychology

The Programme Committee in psychology monitors the educational quality of all BA and MA programs in psychology and advises – on request or on its own initiative – the Director of Teaching and has the right of consent with respect to the Teaching and Examination Regulations.

The committee mission is to help improving the quality of education in the psychology programs. It aims to do this by combining efforts of student and staff members, being alert and critical to challenges of current and future practices, aims to openly and constructively discuss these matters by engaging relevant stakeholders, and by engaging involved parties to develop new evidence-based ideas to improve the quality of teaching. The committee meets once per month throughout the academic year (third Tuesday each month, 9-11 am). The committee consists of four staff and four student members, plus supporting staff and invited guests.

If you have questions concerning the quality of education, that cannot be solved by directly contacting the relevant party, please inform the Programme Committee. For example, are there structural or incidental problems for multiple students or lecturers or do you worry that the quality of education may not benefit due to current practice?
