Incoming student exchange on bachelor and master's level within NeurotechEU

To be accepted as an exchange student at Karolinska Institutet (KI) you must be enrolled at a higher education institution that has reached exchange agreement with Karolinska Institutet within the NeurotechEU alliance. Exchange students should be selected and nominated by their home institution, however the final decision on admission is made by Karolinska Institutet.

All courses, including research-oriented projects, are offered full-time and require at least 40 hours of work per week. The courses are given in blocks, and you can attend only one course at a time. One week of full-time studies corresponds to 1.5 ECTS credits and one semester is equivalent to 30 ECTS credits.

The performance will be graded in accordance with the ECTS grading scale and on the basis of the student’s fulfillment of the learning outcomes stated in the course syllabus.

Make your own arrangements 

You need to make your own initial arrangements and secure the collaboration of a prospective project supervisor priorto applying to Karolinska Institutet. The most successful approach is to participate in an ongoing research project within your area of interest. When you initiate contact with potential supervisors inform them that you will apply for a NeurotechEU exchange at KI. Supervisors are in high demand and may not be able to respond to your inquiry immediately, so please be patient.

When you have received confirmation, you state the subject area and the hosting supervisor at Karolinska Institutet in your exchange application form. If you need assistance, please contact the international and academic coordinators at Karolinska Institutet.
