Rolene Strauss receives master’s degree Cum Laude

Former Miss World, Rolene Strauss is not only a medical doctor, beauty queen, wife and mom. She now also holds a master’s degree.


Considering the fact that Miss World 2014, Rolene Strauss had two toddlers running around the house, and the fact that Covid-19 was in the mix, the beauty queen – who is also a qualified medical doctor – most definitely had her hands full while embarking on her master’s degree at the same time.

Still, Rolene celebrated receiving her master’s degree in Philosophy and Management Coaching (Cum Laude) at the University of Stellenbosch yesterday, saying she is grateful.

She has always been passionate about education, women and health and with this master’s degree in her pocket, she will undoubtedly soar even higher.
