Human rights activist Malala has said she is "so excited" at getting A-level results that have earned her a place at Oxford University.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner posted a message on Twitter describing this as "the hardest year" with a picture of the confirmation she will study philosophy, politics and economics.
She spoke of her success on A-level results day, writing: "So excited to go to Oxford!! Well done to all A-level students - the hardest year. Best wishes for life ahead!"
Her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, tweeted: "My heart is full of gratitude. We are grateful to Allah & thank u 2 all those who support @Malala 4 the grand cause of education."
Ms Yousafzai will be following in the footsteps of many world leaders who studied PPE at Oxford. Notable alumni include former Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto - a heroine of Ms Yousafzai - and Burma's pro-democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi.
Other students who made fame before receiving their A-level results include Lily Cole and Emma Watson.
Ms Watson got straight As despite combining her exams in the real world with those of the wizarding one, earning her a place at the prestigious Brown University in the US.
Two years ago, Ms Yousafzai received 6A*s and 4As during her GCSEs.
The 20-year-old hails from a city in northwest Pakistan. She was shot by local militants angry at a blog she was writing for anonymously promoting girls' education, but survived.
Ms Cole also got all A grades, eventually heading to Cambridge University while continuing her supermodel career.
