- Orebro, Sweden
Abroad

General Information

The school is globally recognized for its Spiral Curriculum. This means that complex medical topics are revisited multiple times throughout the 6-year program, each time with increasing depth.

  • Phase 1: Organ, Cell, and Molecule – Basic sciences and the biological foundation of medicine.

  • Phase 2: Health and Disease – Introduction to pathology and clinical reasoning.

  • Phase 3: Diagnostics, Therapy, and Prevention – Hands-on clinical application and specialized medical training.

  • Phase 4: Medical Deepening – Advanced electives and an 18-week degree project (research-based).

  • AI for Doctors: In 2025, ÖRU introduced mandatory modules on Digital Health & AI, teaching students how to use machine learning for diagnostic support and patient data analysis.

Campus Facilities

The Medical School is physically separated from the main ÖRU campus to ensure students are in a professional healthcare environment.

  • The X-House: This is the flagship building for the Faculty of Medicine. It contains high-tech simulation labs where students practice on "robotic patients" before entering real wards.

  • CEBIO Center: A dedicated research infrastructure featuring an advanced MRI camera exclusively for research and education, allowing students to engage in functional brain imaging (fMRI) studies.

  • SIMPLER Infrastructure: Students have access to a massive national database for population-based medical research, perfect for those pursuing PhDs or Master's degrees.

Hospital & Medical Facilities

Leading tertiary care hospital attached to the institution

As a student, the hospital is your second home. It is one of Sweden’s top-performing hospitals in terms of patient safety and medical innovation.

  • Integrated Units: Research groups (like Emergency Medicine and Oncology) are physically located within the hospital departments, ensuring that "bench-to-bedside" research is a daily reality.

  • Genomic Medicine: The hospital hosts a Genomic Medicine Center (GMC), focusing on precision medicine and genome sequencing for cancer and rare diseases.

Fee Structure

State University Affordability

  • Non-EU Tuition: For the Master's in Experimental Medicine, the fee is approximately 82,500 SEK per semester (Total 330,000 SEK for 2 years).

  • Living Costs: The Swedish Migration Agency requires international students to prove they have at least 10,500 SEK per month for living expenses to grant a residence permit.

  • Scholarships: The Örebro University Scholarship is available for top-tier international students and covers 100% of the tuition fee.

    • City Details

  • Geography: Known as the "Heart of Sweden," it is roughly 2 hours from Stockholm and 3 hours from Gothenburg.

  • Wadköping: A famous open-air museum in the city center where you can experience historic Swedish wooden houses.

  • Biking: Bicycles are the primary mode of transport. The city is flat and has dedicated lanes connecting the hospital to the city center and housing areas.

    • Hostel & Mess

  • Housing Guarantee: Non-EU fee-paying students are often given priority for university-managed housing.

  • Locations:

    • Brick Lane: Close to the main campus (approx. 25,000 SEK/semester).

    • The Pine/Forskaren: Near the hospital and medical campus (approx. 31,000 SEK/semester).

  • The "Student Kitchen" Culture: Swedish campuses don't typically have "mess halls" with pre-paid meal plans. Instead, student buildings are equipped with high-end shared kitchens. This is where most social life happens—cooking together is a staple of Swedish student culture.

    • Miscellaneous

    It is important to understand that the Swedish system does not recognize "NRI seats," "Management Quotas," or "Donation-based admission."

    • Pure Meritocracy: Admission for all (including international students) is based solely on your GPA (converted to the Swedish scale) and, for the medical program, your Swedish language proficiency.

    • UniversityAdmissions.se: This is the only official portal. If an agency claims they can "secure" a seat through a quota, it is likely a scam.

    • Application Cycles: * International Round: Closes January 15 for an August start.

      • Swedish Round (for those already in Sweden): Closes April 15.
