Our Open Days give you the opportunity to get a real feel for the University and explore our beautiful award-winning campus. You will meet other prospective students and hear at first-hand what life is like for Reading students. You can chat to academic staff, attend subject-specific sample lectures and find out what the teaching facilities are like.

You may want to see what support services are available at the University or take a tour around the different types of accommodation on offer. Whatever you want, our student ambassadors are on hand to answer all of your questions and show you around.

We run over 250 undergraduate courses, all of which are represented on Open Days. Choose which undergraduate courses you are interested in.

We are still accepting bookings for both the 'all day' and 'afternoon' options for our Saturday 8 October Open Day.

Parking

All available spaces have now been allocated for both our Open Days. There are excellent public transport links to the University, including free bus travel for Open Day visitors from Reading station. However, if you are unable to come by public transport there are a number of paid public car parks in the town centre you can use. To get to campus from these car parks please make your way to the train station where we will have students available to give you free tickets for the buses.
