(Web Desk) - The youngest ever Nobel Prize laureate and world-renowned education activist Malala Yousafzai has finally secured a place at Oxford University to study Philosophy, Politics and Economics.
It came as no surprise when a few months ago, the 19-year-old announced at a conference in Birmingham she was holding an offer to study at a top UK university.
While Malala did not disclose the institution, it was known that she had applied to Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, where Pakistan’s first female Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto, also studied. The application had triggered comment wars on the social media that finally have been put an end to.
However on Thursday, Malala in a tweet confirmed that she had secured a position in one of the most prestigious schools of the Oxford University.
So excited to go to Oxford!! Well done to all A-level students - the hardest year. Best wishes for life ahead! pic.twitter.com/miIwK6fNSf
