Introduction for global programme and exchange students

Digital Introduction Day Spring 2021

In order to limit the spread of COVID-19, there will not be a physical welcome ceremony this year. Instead, we will host a live introduction ceremony and you will get a glimpse of what the university and the student life have to offer.

All inbound exchange students are invited to watch our pre-recorded online Introduction Day, containing important arrival and preparatory information for your coming life in Stockholm and studies at Karolinska Institutet.

Agenda:

• Ole Petter Ottersen, President of Karolinska Institutet  
• Health Promotion and Sports at KI
• Flix & Corpus Karrolina, MF’s female and male skit group  
• Jennifer Valcke and Karen Gustafsson, Internationalisation of the Curriculum (IoC)  
• KI University Library (KIB) and the Academic writing support
• KI Student Health Centre   
• Medicinska Föreningen (MF), your student union, and Global Friends 

Below you can watch our pre-recorded digital introduction ceremony.

Individual introduction sessions and KI Backpack

For exchange students arriving during other parts of the semester (not in September or January), a shorter individual introduction session is arranged with your international coordinator at Karolinska Institutet.

As a new student, you will get KI:s popular backpack! Information about where and when you can collect it will be sent to your KI student e-mail.
