Malala Yousafzai, the education campaigner who was shot by the Taliban, has expressed her joy and gratitude after finishing her degree at Oxford.
The 22-year-old shared pictures of her celebrating with the caption: “Hard to express my joy and gratitude right now as I completed my Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree at Oxford.”
“I don’t know what’s ahead. For now, it will be Netflix, reading and sleep.”
In one of the two photos, she is covered in food and confetti, which is known as “trashing” and traditionally done after Oxford students complete their exams.

In 2012, Ms Yousafzai survived an attack from a Taliban gunman, who shot her in the head, neck and shoulder while she was on her way home from school in Pakistan.
She was targeted after campaigning for better access to education for girls.
Ms Yousafzai travelled to Birmingham for medical treatment and joined the all-girls Edgbaston High School.
In 2014, she became the youngest person to ever win the Nobel Peace Prize.
