Read honest reviews from real students at this uni
The University of Reading is a research-intensive university with a focus on your future. We offer a wide range of courses with a strong emphasis on sustainability, real-world relevance and the skills employers are looking for whatever you choose to study.
Life at the University of Reading centres on our spacious, award-winning Whiteknights campus. It's a place where lectures, study spaces and social life are all within easy reach, giving you a campus experience that feels both self-contained and well connected. You'll hear lots of students talk about the sense of community here, and the Students' Union brings it to life with hundreds of societies, regular events and its own social spaces.
The campus is just a 10-minute bus ride from the centre of Reading - a lively, modern town with a diverse mix of shops, cafes, live music and cultural venues, as well as direct train links across the country, including London Paddington in under half an hour.
All our university accommodation is on or near campus, and we guarantee an accommodation offer for students coming through Clearing.

An award-winning green campus where lectures, study spaces and social life are all within easy reach.
Our Clearing hotline opens on results day from 8am to 6pm. When you call, you'll speak to a knowledgeable and friendly Clearing adviser who can talk through your options and help you find the right course. You can check available courses on our website beforehand, or simply ask during the call.
If you meet the entry requirements and places are available, you'll receive an offer in principle over the phone for most of our programmes - though a very small number may require you to submit a portfolio like architecture or undertake a telephone interview like speech and language therapy. Any offer in principle will be followed by an email confirming the details. Once you've received your offer, you'll need to add the University of Reading as a ‘Clearing choice' in UCAS. After we've verified your results, your confirmed place will appear in UCAS – this can take a little time, so don't worry if it's not immediate
If you already have your results, you can call or email us from 2nd July onwards to discuss Clearing and potentially receive an offer.
If you already hold a main scheme offer (an offer made before 30th June) from Reading and would like to change course, you don't need to call the Clearing hotline – you can complete a 'change my offer request form' you can find a link to this in your original offer email. You can call us if you have any questions, just select the option for offer holders.
