The Master programme gives students in-depth knowledge of a broad and expanding biomedical field, specialised in creating new, advanced skills in improving the treatment of disease.
The programme provides a solid platform for independent research and the application of new knowledge in the molecular medicine field in order to help students develop future methods of diagnosis and treatment, particularly for the most common, major diseases.

Karolinska Institutet (KI) is one of the world's foremost universities in the biomedical field. The Master programme in biomedicine is a research-orientated degree course held in close association with eminent research environments.

The course focuses on basal biological knowledge and how it is used to propel medical developments forward. The first part offers a general, advanced biomedical base. Students may then take a personal line of inquiry to probe more deeply into one of KI's programme areas for research or a particular aspect of the pharmaceutical industry by taking electives and running independent projects.
