1,503 University of Reading reviews

We have a career service and our professors are always telling us about opportunities to get involved. Also have a UROP scheme where we are paid to internship at the uni labs

I really like my course, the structure and most of the teachers make learning enjoyable. I wish we had final exams at the end of every term. I.e term one exams in jan and term 2 exams in summer as revising 8 modules in summer is very heavy

The union work really had to do inclusion events etc so I would rate this highly.

No pool but otherwise good, bio department is very well funded and has much better facilities than any other department

Yep, 10 min bus to the city centre, my hall is 2 mins from a local high street. Only 23 mins to london so really easy to get home if I want to

There is a really good selection. Hindered by the fact that the gym facilities are quite small, need to be expanded and there should be a pool but there isnt.

I havent need the personal support but the academic support from my tutor has been excellent and he is always replying to the numerous emails i send him

Lots of careers fayres, free careers appointments

Too many lecture slides but great, knowledgeable teachers

Nice students union. Would be nice if there was more study space. A bigger campus supermarket would be nice too. Representation is superb.

Good. Some bits need a bit of a revamp but very good. Library is new and great.

Definitely. 5 minute walk from the university gym and 10 minute walk from the centre of campus.

Very good. Only thing not offered is a swimming pool in the uni gym.

Academic support is good- one meeting a term. Not sure about counselling as haven’t used the services

Always get careers emails for events

Library is nice

Yes for accommodation but not for local amenities

Not interested

Got great financial counselling

Careers department is pretty helpful when it comes to checking CV, cover letters and/or personal statements. Uni tried to help us develop our transferable skills by incorporating a module on it into our course

The course is pretty good. The only complaint I’ve got is that I wished we had more statistics module in our course as I feel it’s more relevant/useful in the future, compared to pure mathematics. I believe most people who do joint degrees prefer learning something that is more applicable to real world problems

Specific careers advisors for every course, who run sessions aimed at your course and whom you can meet whenever. Additional university wide seminars and lectures about work placements and transferable skills are available year round

Like that lectures can be available online and done in person. Additionally good level of 1-2-1 contact with lecturera

The student representation is excellent specifically within courses, never feel uncomfortable to discuss any issues or problem that want to be dealt with, with the student reps

Generally really good, would prefer more food spaces, however the newly renovated library is amazing. Additionally if you want to find somewhere to study in peace or do group work and you haven't booked a room the university provides a free room finder, which lets you know what classrooms are.empty I'm any building that is free for students to use to study in.

It is very close to the town and allowing the local bus routes to run through the uni campus enables ease of access to all local amenities

Huge variety of societies and sports, campus gym is conveniently located to

The support is excellent and personal tutors are always prepared to meet with you at a moment's notice

lectures too brief, too many lectures, not able to have enough time for self studies

Too far from the campus, the radiotor is untrailed, when you flit wid sometimes is not working

Printing fees are way too expensive compared to other universities

Uni gives us lots of job opportunities

Lecturers are always available and you can also record some of their lectures which is really helpful

SU is always open to everyone and the events are cool

Yes, takes me 20 mins for the longest distances

There are pretty well organised and they give you opportunities

we have many tutors and counsellors

Its too old

Printing fee is so expensive compared to university of Liverpool

Too far away
