Your impact

Thank you for choosing to support the University of Reading. Over the course of our history, we've led the way in pioneering teaching and learning, and in developing innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing issues. None of this would have been possible without the support of our generous community.

From scholarships and bursaries for promising students, to world-leading research in areas such as climate change, sustainability, and heritage, you are helping to make the world a better place.

Thank you.
