Christoph Brandenburg-Ivens

“Thanks to the physiotherapy degree, I received a very broad perspective regarding my profession. Through the practice-oriented modules, I developed extensively in my therapy. The theoretical modules such as law, marketing and business administration were the basis for me being able to successfully open my own practice after completing my bachelor's degree."
