Journalism, Media and Communication

Overview

About the programme

The objective of the Journalism, Media and Communication programme at the University of Gothenburg is to train students so they will have the knowledge and skills required to be able to conduct research independently, contribute to the field's development and perform other qualified tasks in administration and business.

As with research conducted at the department, doctoral studies have a basis in social science, with a clear empirical orientation. Doctoral students usually conduct research in a subject that is related to one of the department’s five research groups.

JMG's researchers are internationally established and work on the basis of various theoretical positions. They have broad experience and expertise in historical media studies, large-scale surveys, experimental studies, ethnographic surveys, automated content analyzes, discourse analyzes and studies of text and spoken communication.
