The University of Reading has plenty to offer: a rich history, a beautiful campus in a thriving town, a vibrant academic community, and much more.

You’ll be joining a diverse and inclusive community, home to more than 25,000 students from around 160 countries. The University provides an ideal environment to try new things, meet new people and gain new perspectives.

Our main campuses are located close to Reading’s bustling town centre. From there, it’s just 30 minutes to London Paddington by train, and only 45 minutes to Heathrow airport by coach.

Our home fees for 2022/23 entry were £9,250 per year, with 2023/24 fees yet to be announced. You can apply for a government tuition fee loan to cover the cost of your degree.
Your tuition fees will be fixed at the same level for the standard duration of your course, so there will be no year-on-year increase during your studies.
