Rita Ora has revealed that she plans to return to higher education to complete her degree.

The popular 21-year-old singer reached a crossroads in her career a few years ago where she could either continue studying or pursue a music career.

Ora signed with Jay-Z's Roc Nation label when she was 18 - but she vowed to her father that she would return to university to finish her degree. She said:

"I got my first production credit when I was 14 and then it kind of escalated from there. I got signed at 18 so it came to the point where I could either finish university, or I could carry on and finish university later, which I promised my dad I would do, so I will do it."

Other music stars who have put university on hold to forge a music career include 24-year-old Emeli Sandé, who studied medicine at Glasgow University.
