The University of Reading works with a number of approved representatives across the world to offer face-to-face assistance and counselling to prospective students and applicants. These counsellors can help you find the right institution and course as well as supporting you throughout the application process.

The Global Recruitment Team (International) works closely with our representatives to ensure they have up-to-date information on our programmes, application procedures and any other university related information.

The university does pay a commission payment to these representatives should you apply through them and then enrol at Reading. This in no way affects your chances of being accepted at Reading and applying via one of our representatives can be very helpful.

Be aware that some representatives may charge students a counselling fee. We would advise you to clarify all charges and service expectations in advance.

Any course deposits or tuition fee payments should be paid directly to the University and not to any representative. 

We have representatives in a number of countries and you will find full details of all our overseas representatives on our Representatives pages.

The University expects our representatives to be honest and accurate with the information they communicate about the University and to conduct themselves with fairness and integrity at all times.

If you have any feedback, whether positive or negative, regarding our overseas representatives please email us at international@reading.ac.uk.
