Study at KI
The Karolinska Institute is a public institution that was founded in 1810 as a school for army surgeons. It is located in Sweden, with the Solna campus just outside the Stockholm city center and the Huddinge Campus to the south. The school offers degrees solely in the medical and health sciences. Around one-fifth of the Karolinska Institute student body is international. Students from European Union and European Economic Area countries as well as Switzerland do not pay tuition; all other students do. Some university housing is available, and tuition-paying students are guaranteed accommodations.The institute offers programs in a variety of medical and health fields, including dentistry, optometry and nursing, to name a few. Its academic calendar is semester-based. The primary language of instruction at the school is Swedish, but several degree programs, known as global bachelor's and global master's programs, are offered in English. Some of the English-taught master's offerings are programs in bioentrepreneurship, global health and public health sciences. The institution offers a three-day intensive Swedish language class to all new international students. Research is prevalent at the Karolinska Institute and covers nine main focus areas, which include cancer and hematology, epidemiology and public health sciences, and neuroscience. More than 40 percent of the academic medical research conducted in Sweden occurs at the school. Since 1901, a committee of 50 Karolinska Institute professors has selected the recipients of the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine.
