Karolinska Institute invites students to apply to its exceptional undergraduate programs. One program is offered exclusively in English, the Bachelor’s program is Biomedicine, while other undergraduate programs such as medical and dentistry are taught in Swedish.

To apply to the English-speaking Biomedicine program, students should follow a series of specific instructions. Documents should not be sent to the University Admissions office in Sweden before the online application has been submitted. This application can be found at universityadmissions.se.

There are two application rounds for bachelor’s studies commencing in the fall of 2018. The first deadline closes on January 15 while the second closes on April 16. Applicants who have completed high school already are advised to apply for the earlier deadline, as are applicants who will need to apply for a visa. The second and later deadline is designed for nationals as well as EU/EEA applicants. Students who have not yet completed their final year of high school must apply in the April 16 pool as well.

To apply, students must complete secondary school and have proficiency in English that is equivalent to the level of the Swedish upper secondary school course English 6/English B. IB students who are applying for the April 16 deadline will need to request an early result from the IB coordinator at the school. Applicants must also have completed secondary level courses in Biology 2, Chemistry 2, Mathematics 4, or the equivalent.

Proficiency in the English language must be demonstrated. This can be done through the TOEFL or similar exams. All documentation for university and secondary school transcripts must be provided in English. Once you have submitted all materials, the University Admissions team will evaluate your upper secondary school courses. They will utilize country handbooks developed by the Swedish Council for Higher Education.
