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.
