Hi, I’m Julia from Slovenia! I’m excited to share with you my experience as a student at Karolinska Institutet.

When I first learned about the biomedicine programme at KI, the university’s prestige, and its academic and research excellence, it became nearly impossible to picture myself studying anywhere else. When starting my studies at KI, I quickly learned that there are so many more reasons to be glad for having accepted my place. I plan to make the absolute most of everything KI and the city of Stockholm have to offer — from education to student life.

While my current main interest is cancer research, I don’t have a plan set in stone for my future. Instead, I plan to use this program to discover what field within biomedical research interests me most. At the same time, I’m also curious to learn about opportunities to merge science with business. Aside from my studies, I hope to maintain a “say-yes-to-everything” mindset, learn Swedish as soon as possible, hunt for internships, meet new people, and have fun. Join me on my journey at KI!
