Shadowing a student at KI

18 January, 2019

Reading time: 1 min.

Shadowing is a great way of getting a brief first-hand experience of the KI campus and classroom. It’s not something that many of us have had the privilege of doing at a national university, let alone an international one. Most people can’t afford to travel to Stockholm for a day or two, just to check out what a lecture in Global Health is like.

However, if you happen to be in the neighbourhood like some of the people that we as Digital Ambassadors have had the pleasure of hosting, then feel free to get in touch with the admissions office (admissions@ki.se) and they’ll put you in touch with one of us.

Hosting a prospective student is one of the many aspects of our job we enjoy. It gives you a different type of opportunity to gather more information for what will be a decision that means so much and is potentially life-altering. Coming to KI as an international student will mean: uprooting your family, leaving loved ones behind, giving up a salary and a potential short-term job promotion for many. It’s not a decision that’s made lightly!
