The 10 students received their certificates from Vice-Chancellor and President, Peter Ng and Ms. Vilashiiney Panneerselvam or Ash was selected as Best Student by the tutors of this course. 

Ash said, ¡°I enjoyed taking this course as it helped build-up my self-confidence. I was quite shy before, but now I am able to walk on a runway and face a large audience.¡± 

According to Linda Hurley, Head of the Department of Fashion, ¡°The course aims to educate our students to be aware of the pitfalls and exploitations that can be prevalent in the world of modelling and promotions,¡± she said. ¡°We hope we have inspired them to become true ambassadors of their profession.
