About this opportunity
The Karolinska Institutet Global Master's Scholarship 2027 is a competitive tuition fee scholarship for fee-paying international students admitted to one of Karolinska Institutet's Global Master's Programmes in Stockholm, Sweden. It covers the tuition fees for the entire study period, but it does not cover living costs, accommodation or travel expenses, so it is a tuition-only award and not a fully funded package. Applicants must first apply for an eligible KI masters programme through UniversityAdmissions.se, rank the KI programme as their first choice, and submit the programme-specific KI CV form. Two joint programmes are expressly excluded for this cycle: the Joint Master's Programme in Molecular Techniques in Life Science and the Joint Master's Programme in Biostatistics and Data Science. Because the scholarship application closes on 24 February 2027, before admission results are published, you must prepare the scholarship application while your admission application is still being assessed.
