This program involves two years full-time study. The research school is financed by the odontological faculty at Karolinska Institutet and is primarily for dentists. Half the study period consists of scheduled instruction. This is alternated with lectures and work on individual research projects. The program leads to a licentiate qualification.
Students can then apply for a doctorate post within the faculty.
The clinical research school is financed by the Swedish Council for Planning and Coordination of Research and the Medical Faculty at Karolinska Institutet. It is primarily for doctors. Medical training with a research bias involves the addition of research preparatory activities equivalent to 20 credit points, corresponding to one semester of full-time study, to the first four semesters of regular medical training. Twelve applicants are accepted each year. The program contains evening courses and courses during vacation time.
