The 28th edition of World Miss University, which was held on 20th December 2017 at Koh Pich Theatre in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, witnessed more than 80 girls from across the globe competing to clinch the crown of World Miss University 2017. World Miss University 2016 winner Kelin Poldy Rivera Kroll from Peru crowned Claudia Moras Baez of Cuba as the winner of World Miss University 2017 beauty pageant.
Nina Yevtushenko of Ukraine was declared as the first runner-up, while Daniela Gods Romanovska of Latvia finished as the second runner-up.
