Politics, mass media and governance

Welcome to the Faculty of Social Sciences

We conduct research and deliver education in all aspects of society; everything from the individual’s psychological development processes to large, complex organisational forms. Professional programmes are combined here with prominent international research into democracy and politics, working life and social relations, risk and security, the individual’s adjustment and development, as well as global change. The researchers also frequently participate in public debates.
The faculty’s educational remit is the most comprehensive within the University of Gothenburg and our programmes maintain a high level of quality. For example, you can study to become a journalist, a human resources specialist, a psychotherapist or a social worker. You can also choose from among our freestanding courses and gain the knowledge you need for a profession which focuses on society.
Research in the social sciences is necessary in order to resolve and deal with major contemporary problems pertaining to issues such as the environment, health, war and poverty.
