FAQs
Ques. What criteria do you use to choose applicants for the Karolinska Institute program?
Ans. Even if you fulfill all of the prerequisites, acceptance is not guaranteed. When the number of applicants exceeds the number of available positions (usually the case), a selection will be made from among the qualified applicants. Your credentials, such as previous education, relevant job and study experience, and a declaration of purpose, are all taken into account in making this decision.
Ques. Do I need to send a CV form for each Master's program I apply to at KI?
Ans. Yes, you must submit a CV form for each program to which you have applied. Please do not submit several copies of your certifying documents, however. Notice that KTH Royal Institute of Technology is in charge of admissions to the joint Master's program in Molecular Techniques in Life Science. Please have a look at the requirements of the Master's program in Molecular Techniques in Life Science.
Ques. How do I decline my Karolinska admissions offer?
Ans. More information about how to refuse an admissions offer can be found at Universityadmissions.se
Ques. How likely am I to be accepted from the waiting list at Karolinska Institute ?
Ans. Unfortunately, predicting if an applicant will be admitted from the reserve list is problematic because it is dependent on how many admitted students decline their offers. Karolinska Institutet does not immediately offer a waitlisted applicant if an accepted student declines their admissions bid. Just a few applicants on the reserve list are usually offered a position.
Ques. Is there a tuition charge at Karolinska Institute?
Ans. Applicants from the EU/EEA and Switzerland are eligible for free higher education. Applicants from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland, however, must pay application and tuition fees.
Ques. Is it possible for me to send my credentials via email to Karolinska?
Ans. No, emailed credentials will not be accepted.
Ques. May I appeal if my Karolinska application was denied?
Ans. If you think the assessment was wrong and you were refused admission because you did not meet the general and/or particular criteria, you can appeal the decision. It is not necessary to appeal on any other grounds. After you have received notice of your election results, you can file an appeal. More information on how to appeal can be found at Universityadmissions.se
Ques. What are the chances of getting into Karolinska Institute?
Ans. With a 3 percent acceptance rate, this school offers Selective Admissions. Provided that the applicant meets all eligibility requirements, there is a 100% chance of admission.
