She will study philosophy, politics and economics. The University of Oxford has confirmed Yousafzai's acceptance to the DPA news agency.
Yousafzai had said in March during an education conference in Birmingham that she received an offer to study at a British university.
Yousafzai first came to international prominence in 2012 after a Taliban gunman shot her in the head near her school in Pakistan's Swat Valley.
She wrote then under the pen name "Gul Makai", the name of the heroine from a local Pashtun folk tale. Yousafzai now lives in the UK, where she received medical treatment following her shooting.
Malala is also one of only six people to receive honorary Canadian citizenship. - Online Sources
