Admissions
Doctoral students in the Department of Marine Sciences are mostly funded by external grants, and the number of doctoral students therefore depends on the number and kind of research grants in the Department. The Department therefore has no fixed dates for calls for doctoral students.
Calls for Doctoral Students
All calls for doctoral student positions are published on the University’s web page for Vacant positions, and are also announced at the University's Ocean web site – Research, education and news about the ocean.
General requirements
To be eligible to do doctoral studies at the University of Gothenburg, you must satisfy both general and special entry requirements.
To meet the general requirements for admission to third-cycle education, applicants must have:

Special requirements
Special entry requirements are specified in each call for doctoral student position.
