But to make sure it’s not just an obligation, the university offers a range of options, from which you are free to choose the one that suits you best. The range of 36 different sports includes, but is not limited to, Crossfit, TRX, various strength training sessions, self-defence training and team sports such as volleyball, basketball, football and floorball. Of course, even those who like to move solo will not be left behind, as there is also the opportunity to improve your tennis, ping-pong, swimming, kayak-kenu and chess skills.
