Karolinska Institutet
As one of the world’s foremost medical universities, KI accounts for the single largest share of all academic medical research conducted in Sweden. KI also offers the country’s broadest range of education in medicine and health sciences.
The graduate: "A wonderful mix of confusion and eye openers"
On Friday, 17 January 2025, the graduating classes of four programmes at Karolinska Institutet will receive their diplomas. These programmes are the nursing programme, the medical programme, the physiotherapy programme, and the occupational therapy programme. Two of the graduating students, Måns and Niklas, have answered questions about their time at university and future plans.

What's it like to be a new student at KI?
If you are reading this, you might be a student, an alumnus, or considering studying at Karolinska Institutet. Regardless, you probably have your own idea of what it is like to be a new student at KI, whether you have experienced it or not. Here, two students – one who is brand new and one who has studied a few semesters – answer questions about how it is, or was, to be new KI students.
Changing careers through KI’s programmes
Having a profession that one enjoys on multiple levels is crucial for most people. Regardless of the reason for retraining, many of KI’s students switch to a new line of work through their education here. This is the case for Anna Edsjö, who is in her third term of the occupational therapy program.
