Opleidingscommissie Psychologie Universiteit van Amsterdam

Hi all!
My name is Elin, I‘m 20 years old, and last year I finished the second year of the Psychology Bachelor.
This year I took a year off to become a board member of the VSPA (the study association of Psychology). Combining the fact that I want to specialize in Work & Organiziational Psychology, and that I love being a part of the VSPA; a board year was - and still is - the perfect choice for me.

For the last two years I‘ve been a member of the focus group, so when they asked a VSPA member to attend PC meetings, I happily agreed. I‘ve always liked (critical) discussions about the quality of the education, and I enjoy thinking about ways to improve the study even further.

Do you have anything you‘d like to bring to our attention? Don’t hesitate to contact me; I would love to take credit for it ;)

A crazy year is coming to an end. We hope that all of your final exams went well. Today is the start to a well-deserved break.
Thank you all for your input this year! We hope you will continue to give us feedback and new topics in the next year as well😊
The Programme Committee wants to wish you happy holidays and some rest during the winter break!🎄🎄🎄

Hi everyone,
My name is Miriam and this my second year in the PC and I’m currently the secretary. This means that I take the minutes of the meetings and manage our email account. Additionally I’m also a general member and contribute to the discussions.

I joined the PC because I wanted to be in a more “serious” committee that wasn’t necessarily a part of a study association but more the university.

If you have anything you want to mention you can always dm me or you can always send us an email at [email protected]

Now that the start of the academic year was already two months ago, we want to remind you that you can use our google forms link to send us your suggestions, concerns or ideas you would like us to discuss.
Please feel free to use it and give us some well appreciated input!

In these meetings, the student and the staff members come together to talk about current important topics.

But for now, we wish you a nice weekend and good luck with studying for your exams😊

A new and very different academic year has started for you and for the programme committee!
As usual, the programme committee is a team of students and teachers working together to improve the Psychology programme. Our tasks include evaluating the Teaching and Examination Regulations (TER) and the course evaluations that are filled out at the exams, creating an annual report, and working on both teacher and student well-being in this special academic year. There are many more duties for the programme committee to tackle and as always input from you is very welcome!
