Book your place for our summer Open Days now:
Open Days offer you the chance to get a feeling for what life as a student at the University of Reading is really like.
Explore your subject area of interest by attending talks, sessions and tours of facilities, and chat to academics and current students. Experience campus life by joining tours of accommodation and the Students’ Union, and attend talks on a range of topics from student life to study abroad.
I chose Reading as I had a warm welcome on the Open Day and had a good feel for the campus, facilities and my course. I was drawn to the University's beautiful green spaces, stunning woods and lakes, and countless places to eat and study.
