Change of rules means 30 per cent of students could lose right to accommodation
The Karolinska Institutet, Sweden’s most prestigious medical research institute, has said that the end of a housing pilot could affect its ability to recruit international students.
Under the pilot, which started in 2010, Karolinska was one of nine universities offering accommodation to all students regardless of their status or origin. However, a change in rules announced in December by education minister Mats Persson means that only a few categories of students at the university will continue to benefit.
