During term time we offer a campus tour and talk on selected Wednesday afternoons. The tour and talk gives you a general feel for the University and the main Whiteknights campus. Tours start at 14:00 and last about 2 hours.

Our student-led campus tours are led by current students and take place throughout term time and regularly during the summer holidays.

These tours are scheduled for Tuesdays at 11:00 and Fridays at 14:00. Summer dates will be available to book from the end of June 2019.

These small group tours give you a general overview of the University and campus and take around an hour and a half. The student ambassador will tell you all about their experiences and life at University as well as show you around the main facilities on Whiteknights campus. Points of interest include the University library, Students' Union (RUSU), the student services building and some of our teaching spaces.

Please note, student-led campus tours are general tours and do not include visits to academic departments. If you have any questions specifically about your course, please get in touch with us at www.reading.ac.uk/question.

The Institute of Education (IoE) and our brand new School of Architecture are both situated at our London Road campus, which has recently undergone a £21 million transformation to provide superb purpose-built facilities.

Although the London Road campus is not included in either of our campus tours 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 Teachers and advisors.
