Information about the course

In the project, the student will apply the level of medical and scientific education that he or she has acquired after a minimum of three years studies in a medical study programme. A scientific perspective constitutes the basis for the course. The student will formulate a project plan which must be comprehensive for a third party. The project plan is written in consultation with the supervisor and must be approved by the examiner before the start of the project work. The references should be systematically and consistently written according to reference guide APA or Vancouver.

Application

Exchange students in Medicine who wish to undertake a research-oriented project must make the initial arrangements themselves. The most effective approach is to participate in an ongoing research project and find a supervisor who is interested in supervising students. The subject area and the supervisor from X must be specified in the application form. The duration of the project is 6 weeks, and one week of full-time studies is equivalent to 1.5 ECTS. Note that the grade awarded is either Pass or Fail. 

To be accepted as an exchange student at Karolinska Institutet (KI) you must be enrolled at a higher education institution that has a formal exchange agreement with KI for the specific study programme of interest.
