"My goal is to get a PhD and start research"
Jennifer Lind is passionate about physical activity and how it affects our health, and after working in various research projects, she felt that the master's at GIH was a natural next step.
Why have you chosen to study this programme?
– During my bachelor's degree, I thought that the most fun was when we got to investigate different things and write reports. Even then, I felt the urge to continue studying, but first I worked for a year in various research projects before I took the next step and applied to the master's program.
What is it like to be a student in the master's programme?
– I really like GIH because physical activity and sports are so alive throughout the school. We all have the same basic interest here, which can then look very different, and I thrive very well in the environment where physical activity is a natural part of everyday life.
– I think we get a very good totality in my education. We read everything from the pathophysiology behind various public health diseases to how we can prevent them with physical activity and other lifestyle habits, but also different behavioural change methods to promote health and to evaluate and measure physical activity.
– So we get a very good totality, and since we all have a bachelor's degree from the beginning, we all have different experiences where we can learn from each other as well.
What opportunities do you see with your education?
– My goal after graduation is to get a doctorate and continue working in research, but I also see that I have strengthened my resumé through the master's degree and have the opportunity to work in both occupational health care and business.
What are you passionate about?
– Physical activity and how it can affect our health. I want everyone to find their own love for physical activity, that we don't all have to get into the same activity, but you should find what you think is fun, and socioeconomic status should not be an obstacle to living a healthy life.
