The Santa Maria Health School (SMHS) was pleased to welcome Lucas van Schalkwijk, a student from Rotterdam Hogeschool (The Netherlands), as part of his international mobility experience.

During his time at SMHS, Lucas had the opportunity to undertake a placement at the Academy AF Porto, gaining experience in a distinctive professional environment and enriching his academic and practical learning in the field of healthcare. SMHS would like to thank TRUST for its collaboration and for providing this opportunity, allowing Lucas to complement his education through practical experience in a high-level sports environment.

Welcoming international students and creating learning opportunities across different professional settings are key elements of SMHS’s commitment to internationalisation and to educating healthcare professionals prepared for an increasingly global environment.
