Pam combines her studies with horseback riding
Pam is studying the Subject Teacher Education programme. She combines her studies with competing in horseback riding (para dressage/dressage) for Strömsholms Ridsportförening.
I chose MDU because the university suits me well geographically and offers the Social Work program.
The best thing about my sport is that it is developing and that you can never fully master it. My goal is to become as good as possible and to qualify for the Paralympics.
I have been competing since I was 3 years old, and dressage/para dressage is the third discipline in horseback riding that I have practiced. In the beginning, I rode show jumping, and from the age of 11 until I was injured, I competed in eventing on the national team. I have also worked with horses and run my own company.
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.
