Due to current government advice regarding the coronavirus pandemic, unfortunately we are not currently running our guided campus tours. However, we are now taking bookings for self-guided campus tours. You can also take a virtual tour to explore the fantastic facilities on offer, or chat to our students about life on campus.
Explore the University
Campus tours are a great way for you to experience life at the University; you can explore the campus and facilities and see if Reading feels right for you.
We offer two types of campus tour:
Student-led campus tour
These tours are led by current students and take place regularly during term time.
Campus tour and talk
These tours include a welcome to the University and a student life presentation by one of our current students. They take place on selected Wednesdays throughout the term.
If you have any questions specifically about your course, please get in touch with us.
When I first walked onto the Reading campus, it just felt like home. I knew straight away that this was the place for me and I would be happy here.
The Institute of Education (IoE) and our School of Architecture are both situated at our London Road campus, which has recently undergone a £21m transformation to provide superb purpose-built facilities.
London Road campus is not included in either of our campus tours, but if you would like to visit the campus please speak to your student guide after the campus tour and they will be able to direct you to London Road.
Our campus tours are quite undergraduate-focused but can still be beneficial if you wish to get a general feel for the University. For more information on general postgraduate events as well as department-specific events we recommend you visit our postgraduate events page.
If you are a teacher or group leader and would like to book a campus tour, please contact the Global Recruitment Team (UK Student Recruitment & Outreach).
We also welcome parents and supporters to visit our campus with or without their young person but we also run some bespoke virtual activity specifically for parents. Sign up here to receive our parents’ and supporters’ newsletter and be first to hear about our parents’ and supporters’ virtual events.
