Message from the Head of School (HOS)

I would like to welcome you to the website of the Interdisciplinary School of Psychology (ISOP). This is an exciting new initiative at the University of Pretoria and years in the making. Even long before COVID-19, discussions commenced to launch the school in one form or another. The current Heads of Departments were instrumental in getting the school to launch in 2024.  We still have a long way to go, and we need to put some structures and processes in place. However, the website is the first visible token of the school to the University and the outside world.

 

The major goal is to establish the three psychology departments as a leading voice in psychology nationally and internationally, and we are certainly going to strive to achieve this. First of all, we need to involve our departments in this effort. We are proud to say that we had our first school symposium in May and information about this will soon appear on our links as well. We had a substantial number of academics and students participating in this event, and we look forward to the next one and, of course, other initiatives in our school.
