The Rector of the University, Doctor Pablo Vera Salazar, enthusiastically presented the Specialization in Sports Training, an innovative program that places the institution at the forefront of postgraduate offerings. For years, the University of Magdalena has worked hard to provide high-quality training in the sports field.
The academic curriculum of this specialization includes the latest trends in sports training, thus responding to the manifest needs of athletes and professionals in the area.
