So...what were you doing when you were nine?

A nine-year-old boy is preparing to become the youngest ever graduate, and his University says he's three times smarter than any student they've had.

Laurent Simons is studying electrical engineering at a uni in Eindhoven in the Netherlands.

It would normally take three years to graduate, but amazingly Laurent, who has an IQ of 145, will complete his studies next month.

The boy genius says he is looking forward to taking a holiday as the Christmas season beckons, but also already has plans to start a PhD and "study a little medicine".

He also wants to research artificial organs and develop a Terminator-style artificial body, with his Instagram page sporting an image of Arnold Schwarzenegger posing alongside a model of his iconic T-800 skeleton.

At this rate we're sure he'll accomplish that, and many, many more things before he's done!
