After four years of pursuing a course in English Literature from Brown University in Providence, US, British actress Emma Watson will receive her degree later this month.

The "Harry Potter" star will receive a degree by the Ivy League university May 25, reports contactmusic.com.

Watson began studying at the institute in 2009, but after 18 months, in March 2011, she was forced to take a leave of absence to continue her filming commitments.

During the 2011-12 academic year, the 24-year-old spent considerable time studying at Worcester College, which is part of the University of Oxford.

The actress shared her experience at the university when she appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", in March.

"I guess everyone in their freshman year is nervous and figuring it all out. I think people kind of took pity on me. 'She's English, she doesn't really know where she's going.' And the university was weirdly protective of me. They saw it as their role to help me have that experience. I can't really explain it," she said.
