Ida combines her studies with handball
Ida is studying the Public Health Science programme. She combines her studies with playing handball for VästeråsIrsta HF.
I chose my education at MDU because I am interested in how different lifestyle habits affect health and why people believe themselves to be unwell. In the future, I can see myself working with people and helping individuals feel better by adopting healthy habits. Today, I believe that too many people feel unwell, both psychologically and physically and I want to be a part and help affect the future.
The best part of my sport is the sense of community and all the fantastic people I meet every day through being part of an association. I have been playing handball since I was 8 years old, and I can’t imagine my life without it. I love training and seeing the results of the training in games, especially how the team develops and supports each other, as well as my own development.
Do you want to combine elite sports and your studies?
During your time at MDU, you, as an elite athlete, have the opportunity to receive support and adjustments to enable you to study and continue with your sport at the same time. This enables you to pursue dual careers and have an university education to fall back on after your career in sports.
