The Division of Nursing has around 1000 students in its undergraduate nursing program, about a third of whom are in online education, and almost 600 in its specialist nursing programs, the majority of whom study through online programs on a part-time basis. All instruction is designed around flexible student-centred learning, has a large web-based component, and is based on the latest pedagogical research. Students spend almost half of their time engaged in clinical study in healthcare settings.
Hallmarks of nursing education at Karolinska Institutet include a strong research link interprofessional profile, clinical training and opportunities for international exchange.

Distance Education
Karolinska Institutet's nursing programme is also provided as a modified distance learning programme which means a combination of self study, found at the place of study and course location, online discussions, etc.
Exchange studies
There are great opportunities within the nursing programme to do a period of your education abroad. To carry out your work-based training or study a theoretical course in another country is something that provides you with new experiences. To experience a different culture from the inside is evolving, interesting and instructive, even if everything is not always as expected.
Study abroad is not only about to improve your academic experiences, but it will also provide you with new insights and experiences that you will have benefit from in your future careers as well as in your life. It also allows you to have many interesting contacts and perhaps friends for life.
