Badrieh Al Abbad

MSc Physiotherapy (Neurology)
A successful blend of academic
excellence and hands on experience,
combining theoretical coursework,
case studies, group work, which enabled
me to pull together my experience as
a physiotherapist and to expand on
the areas in which I was most interested
as well as introducing me to fresh ideas,
research and concepts surrounding
neurology in physiotherapy. This
quenched my thirst for intellectual
stimulation and skills improvement.
