Emma Watson is putting her movie career on hold as she attempts to earn a university degree.
The actress, who plays Hermione in the Harry Potter franchise, will head to academia after filming on the final instalment is complete.
She commented that she feels she has a "need" to study and is unable to juggle it with her acting career.
"I would like to go to university and complete a degree and so that will mean a break from acting," she said.
Watson, 18, told the Daily Telegraph that she may head to the US to take a course.
"There are excellent universities over there and I am applying at the moment. If I stay in this country I will read English Literature, and if I go to America I will do a Liberal Arts programme," she said.
