From the head of department

 

Before we reach the deadline, I would like to wish good luck to those of you who will apply for funds through the Norwegian Research Council.

 

We have now sent the MSc Ceremony invitations to those candidates who have completed their studies during the last two semesters.

 

I do hope that many candidates and their supervisors will be able to join.

 

Hope you had a great May 17 celebration!

Øyvind
