Studying abroad

As a student at KI you have great opportunities to study abroad at one of the many universities with which KI's study programmes have exchange agreements. The application process for exchange studies usually takes place once a year, depending on the study programme. Each study programme has its own application process. More information about the application for your particular programme is available on the programme website.

If you want to know a little more about what it is like to study abroad, you can read the exchange reports from KI-students who have previously studied abroad. You can also take a look at Studera utomlandsbloggen (the Study Abroad blog) to follow students who are currently on exchange.

Traineeships Abroad

A traineeship abroad gives you the opportunity to convert your theoretical knowledge into practice, while gaining experience of international working life.

International Coordinators

The International Coordinators at Karolinska Institutet assist officially nominated incoming and outgoing exchange students. Each study programme has its own International Coordinator.

Internationalisation of KI's Study Programmes

The international committees of KI's study programmes are responsible for internationalisation on the respective study programmes, including student exchanges. The members of the international committees consist of teachers and students on the programme. They work with the support of an International Student Coordinator and an International Coordinator to set up study places abroad and assist with information and support for the exchanges. The committees enter agreements with foreign universities and decide on priority rules and the selection of students for the exchange programmes. You will find more information about your program's international committee on your programme website. You can apply to become a student representative in the international committee through the student union.
