Kristen Stewart is about to prove that she’s not just a pretty – very pale – face.

The Twilight star is going back to school, and doing a full-on degree.

Robert Pattinson’s on/off girlfriend has enrolled at America’s prestigious UCLA to study English Literature – while carrying on with her film commitments, too.

It means the 23-year-old, who is currently shooting her new war movie Camp X-Ray, is set to become one of the hardest working actresses in Hollywood.

A source revealed: “Yes, Kristen’s a Tinseltown actress worth millions but she is already considering a life after film. She never got to complete college and she wants to get a proper education.

“She is a voracious reader and cannot wait to get going on her correspondence course.

“It won’t be easy and it will mean putting in some fairly strenuous hours. But once she’s graduated, Kristen will be able to do almost anything she wants, in or out of Hollywood.”

Although it is not an Ivy League college, The University of California, in Los Angeles, is one of the most respected universities in America. It was recently ranked fourth in a list of top colleges nationwide and has one of the best English courses around.

Of course, brainbox Kristen is not the first celeb to combine academia with stardom.

Britain’s very own Harry Potter starlet Emma Watson transferred from Brown University in the US to Cambridge last year, and model Lily Cole also graduated with an impressive First Class Honours from Cambridge.

Meanwhile American K-Stew is not just busy beefing up her brain – she is working on her body, too. Involved in some extremely physical and violent scenes in her upcoming movie – based in a Guantanamo Bay detention camp – she is training every day before hitting the set.

Since starting filming three weeks ago, the star has already suffered a split lip.

Playing a soldier called Cole, as well as running up to 10km a day, she is also having karate lessons and learning how to shoot.

She also bagged the Choice Movie Actress award for romance at Sunday’s Teen Choice Awards for her role as Bella in part two of Twilight’s Breaking Dawn.

Slightly more impressive than the average uni application...
