Karin combines university studies with road biking
Karin is a distance learning student with the Public Health Science programme at MDU. She combines her university studies with road biking, competing for Motala AIF CK.
I’m interested in wellness in general and am a little unsure about what to do after my sports career. Therefore, I chose something with a lot of variety.
It’s hard to pick the best part about my sport. I want to say both experiencing nature and being outdoors, but also how complex the sport is when it comes to strategy, as well as physical and psychological factors.
I love training in ‘bad weather.’ I think it has a charm of a sort. As long as it’s not too cold, it doesn’t matter if it’s a bit rough.
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.
