Brooklyn Beckham is set to leave home for university this year

A source told The Sun: "Brooklyn is already pretty independent so he has few qualms about living away from his family.

"He’s obviously going to miss them all but he’s ready for his next adventure.

"If he wants to achieve his dream job full time, having the extra learning behind him will be such an asset."

Although his university has not yet been revealed, Brooklyn previously admitted he wanted to study in the US.

He said: "I'm hoping to study art and photography in the US, once I have finished my A Levels.

"I love football, but would also love a career in photography. Who knows…"

However, it was recently claimed that Brooklyn will spend the summer working for his mother.

The 41-year-old fashion designer is keen for Brooklyn to join the team at her eponymous label and has created a role especially for him.

A source told heat magazine: "When he finishes this summer at his college in North London, he's going to work for Victoria.

"She thinks he has a fantastic eye for fashion and is very talented - he'll have a creative/photography type role. Victoria is in the process of securing a new office in West London - she wants to open more shops, with New York being the next location, and she wants Brooklyn to be involved."
