Getting to know Reading
You will know which subject (or programme) you have come to study. You may not know that your subject and programme sits within a School (or Schools if you are undertaking a combined honours programme) and that your School sits within a Faculty.
You will be visiting your School during Freshers' Week and meeting various key members of staff. The links from this page will give you some idea of the campus and facilities available to you.
Getting around campus

There is another campus at Bulmershe and one at London Road. You will be told where the majority of your lectures and other classes will take place during Freshers' Week.
