Health & economy combined

She is currently the reigning world and European champion in the "target competition" discipline. But sport alone was not enough for Simone. She came across the FH Burgenland and the Bachelor's degree programme in Health Management and Health Promotion through an acquaintance.

I was very interested in the mix of health and business. Health is a very important topic in my life and the combination with business is perfect for me.

The high level of practical orientation and the wide range of additional courses are a highlight of Simone's degree programme.

She needs good time management for her lifestyle. "My days often start at 4.30 a.m., when I'm already on my racing bike early in the morning, and end at 10 p.m., when I've finished studying." Her motivation is very high and she is very ambitious both in her studies and in sport. "Sometimes it's very stressful, but if you have the willpower, you can achieve a lot," says the student. In 2020, she will be competing at the World Championships in Regen, Germany, where she hopes to defend her title in the women's individual target competition.

She sees her professional future in the field of care home management or in school health promotion. "If you are interested in the healthcare sector but would like to have a business focus, then this degree programme is just right for you."
