She opted to take a 'gap year' to star in her first production geared towards adults, the mini-series 'Servants' (BBC, 2003), before enrolling at Oxford University where she majored in English and appeared in a number of plays with the college's Dramatic Society including Shakespeare's 'The Comedy of Errors.' Upon graduating, Jones returned to her on-camera career with full force, starring in a BBC TV movie adaptation of Jane Austen's 'Northanger Abbey' (BBC, 2007) and in a big screen adaptation of 'Brideshead Revisited' (2008) with Matthew Goode.

The series wrapped in 2002, just as Jones was completing her A-levels. The part made Jones a beloved household name in the UK, and she would continue it on the follow-up series 'Weirdsister College' (ITV, 2001-02). At 15, she began playing the role of Emma Carter on the BBC Radio 4 soap opera 'The Archers' in addition to landing her breakout TV role as Ethel Hollow on the fantasy themed tween series 'The Worst Witch' (ITV, 1998-99). Born in Birmingham in 1983, Jones first began expressing herself as a performer through the after-school program Central Junior Television at age 11. Though she was a famous face in her native England since her teenage years, actor Felicity Jones first became an international star with her role as Jane Wilde Hawking in the acclaimed Stephen Hawking biopic 'The Theory of Everything (2014).
