The university collaborates closely with Karolinska University Hospital and other research institutions to drive medical advancements and improve global health outcomes.

The programme runs in an active research environment, in close contact with the front-line biomedical research performed at Karolinska Institutet. Since biomedicine is a discipline built around international collaboration, you are encouraged to study part of the programme at one of our international partner universities. The curriculum consists of courses in general natural sciences, together with more medically oriented courses. As a student, you are trained in laboratory practices and scientific methods, and introduced to basic and translational research. Teaching is conducted at several of the departments at Karolinska Institutet. The final semester consists of a degree project, which provides you with the opportunity of choosing your own subject area within the field of biomedicine. The project is carried out at either an academic institution or a pharmaceutical company, in Sweden or abroad.
