She has been granted the highest academic honor at the MBA program of University of Oxford. She was presented with the award by the dean, Peter Tufano, in a prestigious ceremony held at the end of the course. The ceremony itself was held at Sheldon Theatre, one of the oldest in the university.

TAG to Malala Yousuf Zai (Naam Mulk Ka Aisey Roshan Hota) Green CARD Le K WAHI Ka Namak Khane Se Nahi Hota :
1 year MBA from Oxford. Dont understand the strange choices people make. How hard was it for a top star from LUMS to score good in GMAT and get into a real business school in US? I guess we would never know. By any stretch of imagination, MBA from Oxford following LUMS’, is a downgrade. Oxford is merely a relic of glorified British past and elitie+snobs. Nothing special or even worth a mention in modern world. Locals will understand it better, once I call it Aitchison College of UK.
My GMAT score was in the 99th percentile. British universities were practically begging me to join their program – with guaranteed placement (lol). I had to set a filter to delete their emails upon arrival.
