Apart from the amazing student life which we experience at Karolinska Institutet, what fascinates me a lot is the technique, the process of relaxed yet effective methodology of imparting in depth knowledge.

Student voices

I want to make a difference, hopefully for my country, Romania. It is in dire need of people who can make a difference, who can initiate some change. I am aware of how idealistic and naïve that sounds, but there are so many people who achieve that. Why still believe it is impossible?

Ioana Vlad, Public Health Sciences – Health Economics, Policy and Management student from Romania
