The 18-year-old wants to concentrate on her degree after finishing
filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on which she starts work
early in the New Year.
"I would like to go to university and
complete a degree and so that will mean a break from acting," Miss
Watson, who has made more than £10 million thus far from the Harry Potter franchise, told The Telegraph.
"I've always tried to
balance my education with my acting career, but I just don't think it
will be possible to juggle it with a degree course. I have a need now
to study."
"There are excellent universities over there and I'm applying at the
moment," she said. "If I stay in this country I will read English
Literature, and if I go to America I would do a Liberal Arts programme."
