The 22-year-old, who survived a shot to the head by Taliban soldiers, studied politics, philosophy, and economics.

Tweeting earlier, she said: "I don't know what's ahead. For now, it will be Netflix, reading and sleep."

Ms Yousafzai tweeted two pictures as she announced the news that she completed her degree. In one, she is celebrating with her family in front of a graduation cake.

The other was taken after a "trashing", a tradition at the university where students are covered with food and confetti after completing their exams.

She is amazing.

I love that her brother is holding up his fingers behind her head! I am glad to know that no matter how amazing and inspiring she is, her family still joke around with her.

I agree!

She is an amazing young woman who will certainly do groundbreaking things for our world. While at the same time, she's 22 and a real person with real relationships and dreams.

When I heard her speak to a graduate on Some Good News, DH asked who she was, so we dove in to what happened and everything. She is just so amazing, and I know she is going to go on to do even more amazing things to change the world.

Those photos are so joyful!

When she won the Nobel at 17 I remember thinking about how weird that must have been on some level for her parents and teachers. Imagine telling a Nobel Peace Prize winner to clean their room! But she's a real young person going through so many of the same milestones we did, just with the eyes of the world on her.

I think back to the person I was when I was 22 and she’s miles and miles ahead of where I was both in accomplishments and character.

I admire her so much.

Ha! Malala, you're home after curfew. You're grounded. : holds up Nobel as a symbolic mic drop:

I imagine she can relate to Obama's kids in many ways, with the world's watching and expecting her to be perfect, and sometimes she just wants to be a normal teen/ young adult.

I love that in these pictures with her family, it actually LOOKS like she's a normal teen/young adult. Her parents and family must have been doing pretty much everything right. She's always seemed so grounded.
Imagine being the brother doing rabbit ears to a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
