The Department of Journalism, Media and Communication (JMG) at

focuses on survey-based research.



JMG is a nationally leading center for journalism and media research and 
education in Sweden. The department established in 1990 through a merger 
between the School of journalism and the Section for Mass Communication 
at the Department of Political Science at University of Gothenburg. The 
doctoral program bridges the department’s top-ranked undergraduate 
programs in journalism and media and communication studies and its 
ongoing research activities and programs. The current research agenda at 
JMG focuses on journalism, political communication, audience studies, 
crisis communication, media discourse, gender and media, organizations 
and communication and media history. Candidates who are interested in 
any of the above-mentioned areas of research are particularly encouraged 
to apply for the doctoral program.



The final date for submitting an application is March 2. The final 
decision on admissions is made in May, and the new doctoral candidates 
start the program on September 1. The PhD programme lasts four years 
full-time. It is fully funded including wages, social security and 
entitlement to benefits. International applicants are welcome to apply. 
The successful candidate is expected to devote their time primarily to 
the completion of obligatory course work and the writing of a doctoral 
dissertation. The candidate may however undertake a limited amount of 
teaching, administration or research not directly connected to their 
dissertation topic.
