This means that the coming year will be characterised by work on the programme description and the establishment of the new organisation. At the same time, we will maintain a high quality of education for our present students. We are therefore looking for qualified people to contribute to stability in supervision and teaching activities for students during the first year of the programme, and support colleagues in a time characterised by changes.
