Mumtaz Mohammad Zazai

Student of the Year Award

Finding his creativity

Mohammad had a rewarding experience at Ayrshire College, where he developed new skills, built his confidence and met people who supported and inspired him. His passion for art gave him the opportunity to explore his creativity while developing his knowledge and techniques.

Turning ideas into art

For Mohammad, one of the most important parts of his college experience was using his time to develop his painting and explore new techniques. His work is driven by a desire to show reality through his art, including the experiences of children and the impact of ruins.

He particularly valued being able to chat with his lecturers and learn from his classmates, describing the people around him as an important part of his college experience.

Growing in confidence

Mohammad's time at college helped him improve his knowledge, develop new skills and become more confident. He also learned the importance of staying organised and asking for help when needed.

He encourages other students to choose a course they are genuinely interested in and make the most of the support available from lecturers and Student Services.

What’s next?

Mohammad's ambition is to become an artist and continue developing his creative skills and techniques. His college experience has given him the opportunity to explore different areas of art and build towards his future career.

Mohammad’s advice
