Winner of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize Malala Yousafzai has revealed that she will attend a British university.
"I'm in Year 13 and I have my A-level exams coming and I have received a conditional offer which is three As, that is my focus right now,” Yousafzai said at a press conference at the Association of School and College Lecturers on Saturday.
According to The Independent, she will be taking her A-levels in history, math, religious studies and geography.
"I have applied to study PPE [philosophy, politics and economics] so for the next three years I will be studying that."

Yousafzai previously did not reveal exactly where she had applied to study, but did mention she had attended an interview at Oxford’s Lady Margaret Hall. Referring to the interview, she said, “it was the hardest interview of my life. I just get scared when I think of the interview.”
Yousafzai also applied to study at Durham University, London School of Economics and the University of Warwick.
Yousafzai told those at the conference that she would continue to run the Malala Fund, an international charity that advocates for the education of girls and women, while at university. (sul/kes)
