Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai is celebrating after finishing her degree in philosophy, politics and economics at Oxford University; the now 22-year-old survived being shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in 2012 .

Ms Yousafzai had been targeted because of her campaign against efforts by the Taliban to deny women education.

In 2014, she became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for her advocacy.

Ms Yousafzai says she is now just looking forward to some sleep and watching some movies following the completion of her degree.
