Worth knowing

KI's first intake is only for applicants who have finished school; as an EU/EEA student in your final IB year you apply in the second intake, 15 March–15 April.

All 3 notes
  • KI's first intake is only for applicants who have finished school; as an EU/EEA student in your final IB year you apply in the second intake, 15 March–15 April.
  • In the second intake places go on grades and on the SweSAT, which KI says is given in Swedish and is not a requirement.
  • You can do your final-semester degree project at a university or a pharmaceutical company, in Sweden or abroad.
