Karolinska Institutet, KI

Karolinska Institutet ("KI") was founded by King Karl XIII in 1810 as an "academy for the training of skilled army surgeons". Today, KI is one of the world’s foremost medical universities. KI's vision is to make a significant contribution to the improvement of human health; KI's mission is to conduct research and education and to serve the community.

KI is Sweden’s single largest centre for medical academic research that offers the country’s widest range of medical courses and programmes. Approximately 6,000 full-time students are taking educational and single-subject courses at Bachelor and Master levels at the Karolinska Institutet. KI also carries out 12% of Swedish doctoral/third-level higher education at universities or university colleges. In 2017, 2136 individuals were active doctoral students at KI, and 383 doctoral degrees were awarded. KI's doctoral students have backgrounds in all academic areas, and a large proportion of them come from other countries.

KI has two campuses in the Stockholm area; Campus Solna and Campus Flemingsberg. The campuses are located in close proximity to the Karolinska University Hospital and other teaching hospitals.

Since 1901 the Nobel Assembly at KI selects the Nobel laureates in Physiology or Medicine.
