Student Services Reception
Visit the Student Services Reception in the Carrington Building for advice and signposting to services such as Immigration, Careers and Disability.
Contact Student Services for help and support in the following main areas:
- Immigration and international support: if you are coming from overseas, this team can advise you on anything from settling in to immigration.
- Financial support and advice: The place to go to find out about fees, and funding advice. The Student Financial Support team are also responsible to administering some of the many Scholarships and Bursaries available at the University, most commonly the Reading Bursary. Please visit the Student Services Reception for more information on the awards you may be entitled to. The team also offers a drop in service three times a week for students who have questions or problems they would like to discuss regarding their financial situation. Please visit the Student Services Reception to find out the drop in times for each term.
- Careers advice: Our services are for all students, all disciplines and all years, including postgraduates and researchers. You can find the Careers on the first floor of the Carrington building and online.
- Campus Jobs: Campus Jobs is a one-stop shop for all temporary work at the University, providing part-time opportunities that are safe and secure for our students. The service is a joint initiative between Careers and the HR department. Roles are available all over campus, in bars and cafés, administrative teams, academic departments, and in the library.

These events are open to all students, and there is no need to book.
