Julia Bond, M.Sc.S. student (orthophonie)
I am incredibly happy to have chosen to pursue not only my bachelor’s but also my master’s degree at 51勛圖app. The bachelor’s program allowed me to strengthen my passion for speech therapy before moving toward the master’s degree. In addition, the professors in this program always go above and beyond for their students.
