For students attending the Joint Master's Programme in Health Informatics Information for newly admitted students to the Joint Master's Programme in Health Informatics

As a new student on the programme you need to follow the steps below before the start of the autumn semester.

To be able to start your studies at Karolinska Institutet (KI), you must first activate your student account and then register for the first course in the programme that you are admitted to.

1. Activate your student account

First time KI students

If this is your first time studying at Karolinska Institutet, you must activate your student account. Follow the instructions under the headline Activate your student account on the page My student account. You can activate your student account from 31 July 2026.

An activation code will be sent to your email in June 2026 (to the same email address that you used when you applied for the programme), so check your spam/promotion folder if you haven't received it. If you can't find your activation code, contact studentit@ki.se for guidance. 

If you already have a Swedish National personal identity number, you can see more options at the My student account web page.

Previous KI student

If you have previously studied at KI, you will continue using the same student account. 

2. Register for your first course

Once you have activated your student account, you must register for the first course of the programme by following these two steps:

  1. Log in to Ladok between 17 August and 2 September (23:59 hrs) 2026 with your activated student account.
  2. Register for the course Health informatics - needs, objectives and limitations (5 credits), course code 5HI000.

If you fail to register for the course during the specified dates, your study place is considered declined and offered to a waitlisted applicant. You can always go back and check your registration when you log in to Ladok.

3. Attend mandatory roll call at programme start

The autumn semester will start with a mandatory roll call. If you are unable to attend, you must contact programme director Nadia Davoody (cc education officer Maria Appelgren) and apply for an exemption, otherwise you risk losing your study place in the programme. Attendence is compulsory.

► Declining your study place

If you for some reason can't attend the programme, please decline your study place by following these three steps:

  1. Log in to universityadmissions.se or antagning.se (where you applied).
  2. Go to My pages and decline your study place.
  3. The registration period starts on the 17th of August 2026. If the registration period has already started when you decline your study place, you also need to contact the programme director

► Revoking of the admission decision

Please note that if you do not attend the mandatory roll call KI can decide to revoke the decision to admit you to the programme, in the same manner as if you do not register on time.
