Karolinska Institutet – Nutrition Science (2nd cycle)
Stockholm, SwedenPOTENTIAL — not yet offered / not confirmed
🟡 Second-cycle (master's) courses: require ~120 ECTS already completed in nutrition science plus a specific KI exchange agreement, so only advanced 3rd/4th-year HMU students qualify
English-taught programme: KI Master's Programme in Nutrition Science (120 ECTS), Dept. of Medicine Huddinge. Incoming exchange students take one block course at a time, full-time, in English. The three 10-ECTS curricular courses run in autumn (Semester 1). Entry: valid exchange agreement with KI + at least 120 ECTS of nutrition-science study (English B/6).
Potential matches only. This partner currently has no HMU Nutrition & Dietetics students / no recognised courses. The matches below are an indicative assessment by the IRO, based on the partner’s published English programme vs the HMU Nutrition & Dietetics study guide. They must be evaluated and approved by the departmental academic coordinator before any agreement is used.
