Karolinska Institutet commenced operations in 1810 when it was formed as Medico-Chirurgiska Institutet to teach army surgeons in Sweden. KI is renowned for being the single largest home of all academic medical research conducted in Sweden. In 1817, Karolinska was added to the name as a reference to ‘Karoliner,’ one of the soldiers under the Swedish king, Karl XII.
The Institute is a global leader in medicine, boasting the country’s broadest range of education in medicine and health sciences. Since 1901, the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute has been responsible for selecting Nobel laureates in Physiology or Medicine.
The KI Global Scholarship is designed for outstanding students from different countries to study at the Master’s level in Sweden. The objective is to play a significant role in enhancing human health. The Scholarship, a partly funded scheme, welcomes applications from students seeking to pursue a Master’s program at the Swedish Institute.
