THIRD YEAR

Psychology with Neuroscience BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

The campus is beautiful, the people and community are nice. I am introverted so my student life consists of town, train and being in a lot. I like my society, being part of its committee and using my student voice. I have had good experiences working with Campus Jobs and other internships I can add to my CV. I find the marking to be a bit harsh and the course a bit difficult.

MSc Physician Associate

University rating (4)

I have spent 5 years at UoR now, for both my undergrad and masters. Great campus, very green, the new library and science buildings are really nice. Useful selection of shops on campus with a versatile students Union with some brilliant societies and sports on offer. Reading has been a great location as a short train journey to London or out towards the countryside, will really good train links to many major cities.

The staff really does care about students and our classes are mostly seminars, which allows us to know our professors well. I love the campus and the facilities on it. I cannot say anything bad about the University of Reading really.

International Business and Management with Placement Year BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

Best aspects are definitely how green the campus is and the support we receive throughout the year. Something that could be improved is the length of the lecture which are sometimes too long

Faculty members and even students are all cooperative. You feel like home being an international student. It can be improved by providing halal food options s in cafes..it was very difficult for me to go out to get food just because I was unable to get it in university

International Development BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

It is well located (40min away from London by train), the campus is huge and if you really like what you are studying you are going to enjoy the university experience. But the buildings are too far away from each other so it hard to reach classes on time sometimes.

Zoology with Professional Experience BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

The atmosphere of the uni is really welcoming with amazing facilities for science based courses as well as a lively student union. There could’ve been more information as well as given at earlier notice countless times for example with accommodation and other important dates.
