Wondering what a visiting fellow needs to do?

Well, if a person is selected as a fellow of Lady Margaret's Hall, they will be required to visit the college and engage with the staff and students from time to time.

According to the college's principal, Alan Rusbridger, visiting fellows' positions normally lasts for around three years and basically involves being an influence in students' lives.

"They are people drawn from a variety of backgrounds, callings and professions and we want them to form a bridge between our own academic community and the worlds they inhabit and represent," he told BBC.

"At a minimum, we'd like them to drop in occasionally at college, eat with us and meet informally with a variety of the Lady Margaret Hall community. It could be a conversation or debate, a performance, a lecture or seminar, a form of outreach or something we haven't thought of." Alan added.

Emma is also set to return to the big screen with Beauty and the Beast, where she'll portray the role of the beloved bookworm, Belle.
