Karolinska Institutet

Master's Program in Biomedicine

The programme provides cutting edge knowledge and essential practical and communication skills for an academic research career within the field of biomedicine. It focuses on understanding disease mechanisms at a molecular level, particularly for the most common and widespread diseases, with the aim of developing future methods for the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.

Karolinska Institutet is one of the world's leading universities in the biomedical field. The Global Master's Programme in Biomedicine is heavily research-oriented, running in close association with Karolinska Institutet's renowned research environment and integrated with doctoral education. The programme focuses on basic biological knowledge and how it is used to drive medical developments forward. As a student, the first part of the programme provides you with an advanced biomedical base that builds upon your bachelor studies. You then develop a personalised study profile through deeper exploration of one or more of Karolinska Institutet's research areas, by selecting elective courses, which are performed together with PhD students, and through the choice of research area(s) for your independent research projects.
