JOIN THE TRADITION OF FUTURE BREAKTHROUGHS

As you enter the campuses at Karolinska Institutet, you are putting your feet on historic ground. Karolinska Institutet is a place of scientific breakthroughs and Nobel Prize laureates, yet a dynamic institution setting itself up for the methodology needed for future success. Possibly with you as part of the team.

Originally created for training army field surgeons 200 years ago, Karolinska Institutet now serves as a first-class greenhouse for a new type of force, the brightest and most creative group of medical entrepreneurs, doctors and scientists around. A force to be reckoned with.

Since the beginning of the 1900s, Karolinska Institutet has been assigned to elect the laureates of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Even though this task is hugely important, electing new talent to train with us is equally thrilling. Honestly – it is the not-yet discovered solutions that make us tick, and we hope the same goes for you.

So, how does it sound to be present as the focus of medical research shifts from curing to preventing? From treatment to completely ending illness and disease? Our aim is to train students who are inquisitive. Because even though we recently celebrated our 200 year anniversary, the aim is at the centuries to come. Well grounded in a long tradition of scientific trail-blazing, Karolinska Institutet will always be about what you achieve tomorrow. Maybe this is why we rank among the best. The research landscape is being re-drawn. Wouldn’t it be nice to hold the pen?
