Anne Farseth, head of department in the Norwegian directorate of Health, writes in Dagbladet 18. December that the first Norwegian autorisasjonssøkeren from the PURSUED came in 2008. Documents Psykologiforbundet sitting on, shows that it was Norwegian applicants in the several years before this. Hungarian applicants with this education, was approved as early as in the 90s.
Stands in the way of competent psychologists Debate
Furthermore, says Farseth that predictability for students abroad lies in the fact that “they choose an education that gives the right to exercise the profession”.
Although some utdanningsløp are more predictable than others, it must be allowed to request a certain amount of predictability from the registration authority that Farseth leader. Predictability assumes a clear answer. A quick review of the Health treatment of PURSUED the case pointing towards all other than predictability.
When students searched in on the KNEADING, back in 2010, called the individual to the registration authority, to hear about the education was approved in Norway. The agent said that “yes, it has been approved before, so you have to just remember to select the clinical programme so it should be fine”.
When they were finished with a five-year study, got the rejection. Predictable?
Alexander has spent five years and 500 000 € to be a psychologist, but denied a license by the state
Reason for denial was that they had too few credits in clinical subjects. When students next year took several clinical courses than what is required, changed the Norwegian directorate of Health the reason for the rejection. Predictable?
another avslagsgrunnlag was that education was not regulated by law. When this was refuted, changed the back grounds. The applicants were now trained to a different profession. Predictable?
Denmark has considered the the Hungarian education completely jevngod with his own. Students with a Danish education must be approved hassle-free in Norway. They with the Hungarian education are not approved in Norway. Predictable?
Here she explains why the state says no to students
Each has selected the clinical programme in Hungary, and followed the recommendations from the health authorities. Nevertheless, the 84 students again in Budapest that are not able to offer a solution to their situation, after having spent several years and hundreds of thousands of dollars. The consequences of This mess, students should even take. This is unreasonable, and not very predictable.
Arguments to deny the applications from Hungary have changed a number of times in the process. When one argument is refuted, find the agency until a new. The one argument contradicts the other. And so it goes on.
Psykologiforbundet get a lot of inquiries from young people who are considering studying clinical psychology in abroad. With the unsustainable practice of the Norwegian directorate of Health lead today, we can’t recommend anyone to do this. It would be to add the future to the young people in the hands of the people who play bingo with the rules; there is a complete lack of predictability, and this the politicians should do something with if they are serious in their desire to increase student mobility.
Only one thing is predictable in This treatment of foreign applicants: It is unpredictable.
