Shadow a student
Do you want to know what it’s like being a student at Karolinska Institutet? Ask for a student shadowing! We will do our best to pair you with an available student.
About student shadowing
Shadowings are offered to all our global bachelor’s and master’s programmes. If you’re in Stockholm or planning to come here, we offer you the possibility to shadow one of our digital ambassadors. During one hour, you get to see our campus and learn what it’s like to be a student at Karolinska Institutet. Our digital ambassadors are a great resource if you want to know more about student life at KI and living in Stockholm.
No shadowings during evenings, weekends, public holidays or summer break
We do our best to arrange shadowing opportunities upon request during KI’s semesters within local office hours. We cannot, however, offer shadowings on evenings, weekends or public holidays because our students are not on campus on these days. The same applies during the summer break, which stretches from the end of May or the beginning of June through mid-September. However, you are still welcome to walk the campus grounds at KI Campus Solna and KI Campus Flemingsberg on your own if you are not able to visit during the semesters.
When to send the shadowing request
If possible, please send your request around one month before your planned visit to Stockholm for a potential student shadowing. You’re welcome to contact us earlier, but we may not be able to confirm anything that far in advance. If your request comes less than a month before your intended visit to KI, it may be more difficult for us to find a student available for shadowing.
