Malala Yousafzai, the education campaigner who was shot by the Taliban, has graduated from Oxford University with a philosophy, politics and economics degree.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner finished her course a year and a half ago but the university had postponed her commencement ceremony due to the pandemic.

The 24-year-old shared pictures of herself in a cap and gown with the caption: “Some Latin was said and apparently I have a degree.”

She was photographed on campus next to her friends and new husband Asser Malik.

There was also a photo of her parents, Ziauddin Yousafzai and Toor Pekai Yousafzai, leaning in to kiss her on the cheek.

Mr Malik celebrated his wife’s achievement by sharing two pictures – one of him and Ms Yousafzai and another with their family.

“The place we first met felt a little more special on Malala’s graduation day,” he wrote on Twitter.

The couple got married at the beginning of this month in a small ceremony in Birmingham.

Ms Yousafzai was aged 15 when she 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 speaking up for the right of girls to be educated.

The activist travelled to Birmingham for medical treatment, where she recovered and joined the all-girls Edgbaston High School.
