Life as an elite athlete at SDU
Meet Sarah, a rower and law student
‘Syddansk Elite has helped me reduce my course load in my final semester, which allowed me to fully focus on making the national team. I really appreciate that I can just drop by the office if I need help. You are always met with open arms and a smile.’
Meet Nikolaj, who plays volleyball and studies Business Administration and Commercial Law (BSc)
‘Elite sport and education often go hand in hand. Many of the same competences are needed to succeed.’
