Sanja — Sport and Exercise Science Master Graduate
My internship at the Rehazenter in Luxembourg was a great opportunity to work with a highly knowledgeable and professional team of sport therapists, which taught me a great deal about adapted physical activity and rehabilitation. I gained valuable work experience and it grew my confidence in myself.
