Assiduous, devoted to learning (8)

I believe the answer is:

studious

(Other definitions for studious that I've seen before include "Deliberate and painstaking - preparing for exam?" , "Given to serious reading" , "Diligent, assiduous" , "with great care" , "Deliberate and painstaking as in reading" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
