Choose the University of Reading for your degree course and you will be studying at one of the UK’s top 10 research-intensive universities. Our tradition of academic excellence dates back to the late nineteenth century and our magnificent setting is one of the University’s greatest attractions.
Many of our academic staff members are leading authorities in their fields, engaged in international research. We continue to expand and transform our estate through a multi-million pound investment programme. Our aim is to create twenty-first century facilities in our naturally beautiful landscape while preserving the University’s heritage.

What's on Offer

You can choose from a broad portfolio of full and part time programmes that is continually updated and expanded. You have great flexibility to combine courses or change the direction of your studies. We are strong in arts, humanities, sciences and social sciences.
The University specialises in areas such as agriculture, business and finance, construction management, cybernetics, horticulture, meteorology, real estate and typography, where there are few other national providers.

Entertainment

An active social life is as much a part of university as studying or teaching. Whether you play sport, enjoy a hobby, or want to get involved in the campus community, the University of Reading has plenty to offer.
Events take place virtually every night on campus and the town is a short walk or ride away. There is something for everyone and you won't have to go far to find it. Our popular and award-winning Students' Union organises a generous calendar of events including live bands, DJs and comedy nights.
As well as bars, eating places, a games area and shops, it boasts a state-of-the-art nightclub, '3Sixty'. There are also over 100 clubs and societies catering for diverse interests, plus a student-run newspaper and radio station.

Accommodation

Halls of residence play a major role in campus life at the University of Reading. Especially welcomed by our first-year students, they offer a safe and comfortable ‘home from home’, an excellent support network and the chance to make new friends. Living in halls also means all the essentials are close at hand and when the day’s study is finished there is a great social life right on the doorstep.

We offer one of the highest proportions of residential student accommodation among UK universities, with nearly 5,000 rooms available. Our 12 halls of residence and Student Village are situated either on the campus or just a short walk or ride away. All halls are in easy distance of each other and the centre of Reading with its vibrant cosmopolitan city culture.

Fees and Funding

The University will be charging £3,070 tuition fees for all our full-time courses. We will have bursaries of up to £1,320 and, in addition, 'entrance' scholarships of up to £2,000 in certain subjects. More information can be found on the website .
