Where to study in Sweden?

How long do you study to become a doctor in Sweden?

  • How many years of school after high school (for an international student), would you have to attend to become a doctor in Sweden? And what do you study? In the USA you get a bachelor`s degree in any program you want (doesn`t have to be related to medicine at all), and then go to medical school. How does it work in Sweden? Also, schools in the USA usually have ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) or similar programs for people who don`t speak English. Does Sweden have anything like that?

  • Answer:

    Medical education in Sweden begins with a five-and-a-half-year undergraduate university program leading to the degree "Master of Science in Medicine" (Swedish: Läkarexamen). Following this, the National Board of Health and Welfare requires a minimum of 18 months of clinical internship (Swedish: Allmäntjänstgöring) before granting a medical license. This internship consists of surgery (3–6 months), internal medicine (3–6 months), psychiatry (three months) and family medicine (six months). Upon receiving a license to practice, a physician is able to apply for a post to start specialist training. In high school you will need to do classes in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It might be best if you studied all these up to AP/IB Level.
