Rolene Strauss' academic journey

In 2017, Rolene obtained a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery from the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein. 

It took her seven years to complete her studies after she started her medical school journey in 2011. The studies were interrupted by her taking a break of two years to prepare for Miss South Africa 2014 and Miss World, which she went on to win. 

Rolene has attributed her love for education and medicine to her father, who is also a doctor.
