After a long time of detailed planning, The University Board at The University of Oslo (The University’s highest decision-making body) has granted us permission to launch a new master’s programme “Master in Education” at our Department. We are excited to welcome the first batch of students who will start their studies the autumn semester of 2022.

Tuesday 15^th June the Faculty of Educational Sciences invited all the master candidates at the faculty to an online graduation ceremony.

Doctoral Research Fellow candidate, Kondwani Kajera Mughogho, will defend his thesis on the 24th February, as the second person to do so at CEMO. We made an interview with him, and you can read about him and his research here.

Two of our master’s students, Tony Tan and Jayeong Song, have been awarded student innovation grants from the Faculty of Educational Sciences. In addition to financial support, they will get access to developers and resources, and receive support on design and concept development from EngageLab. 

The faculty's student innovation grant awardees are announced. In addition to financial support, they will have the opportunity to collaborate with Engagelab on design and concept development. The chosen projects all have creative ideas about changing learning situations. Congratulations to Tony Tan (CEMO), Jayeong Song (CEMO) and Fredrik Brarud (ISP).

On 1 November four new PhD students started to work at Centre for Educational Measurement (CEMO). That increased the group by 100 %.

Together with measurement experts from Germany, Finland and Norway, most of the Centre for Educational Measurement "crew" recently went on a seminar far from shore. The seminar intended to facilitate collaboration efforts within each other's substantive areas.

CEMO plans a brand new master's program, under the condition that the centre gets it financed. The program shall educate experts for job markets that require knowledge and expertise in assessment and evaluation.
