International Welcome Programme

We look forward to welcoming you to the University later this year.

You may arrive on any day between Friday 30 September and Sunday 2 October.

You are strongly encouraged to attend the International Students' Welcome Programme which begins on Friday 30 September. These are FREE events designed to be an introduction and welcome to all International Students who have accepted a place to study at the University of Reading.

Anyone joining the University from outside of the UK is encouraged to attend this programme. There are a number of events arranged for 30 September and 1 & 2 October including tours and social events.

You will have to pay for your Hall accommodation from the date of your arrival at Reading.

Areas covered include on-line enrolment which you should try to complete before coming to the UK.

You will also find information here about events happening within your Department during the first week as well as many other useful information sessions.
