Biomedicine

2 years, 120 credits

Study in the midst of top research

I love that my programme is an amalgam of theory and practical based learning. We have a perfect concoction of lectures, exams, presentations and group work for an all round personality.
Sushmitha Sathiyamoorthy, current student from India

The programme will give you extensive contemporary knowledge of and a strong foundation for independent work within molecular medicine. A large focus lies on developing skills in scientific communication. You will be trained to address questions on mechanisms and therapeutic strategies, and develop an understanding of leading methodologies for studying common diseases such as infections, cancer and metabolic and neurological disorders. You will conduct three separate projects in three different laboratories, which will give you valuable insights into research work. It is significant for applicants to show basic knowledge of human physiology/ pathophysiology and biostatistics. The programme is developed by experienced scientists, and is based on work conducted in research laboratories at Karolinska Institutet, one of the worlds leading universities in the biomedical field. Many masters students continue their studies in these laboratories. As a matter of fact, up to 70% of Karolinska Institutets biomedicine masters students continue on to doctoral-studies after graduation.
