Departmental/ UCAS Post Offer Visit Days

If you don't make it to an Open Day, you will still have the opportunity to visit if you apply for one of our undergraduate programmes and are made an offer. As an offer-holder you will automatically be invited in to the University on a Departmental Visit Day. Visit Day formats vary but you will typically spend up to a day in your department of choice, meeting with staff and students, finding out more about your chosen degree programme, and touring the departmental and University facilities.

Financial Assistance to attend visit days/interviews

The University of Reading provides bursaries to offer-holding students from areas of low university participation in the UK. These Pre-Entry Bursaries cover the student's travel costs by public transport to a University Visit Day or interview prior to accepting a place.
