Welcome to our Open Day Extra Site
Didn’t make it to Open Day or missed a stand or talk – no problem. We caught up with students and staff in six key areas to provide answers to the most frequently asked questions by students looking at whether Reading is the University for them.

Ask our students

We’re helping the world more than ever
It’s just UoR way
For over a century, the University of Reading has been improving people’s lives.
In the past, we have pioneered the role of women in society (even before women had the vote) and played a leading role in legalising homosexuality.
Today, we remain dedicated to that same ethos of making the world a better place. Join a community that does just that.
It’s just UoR way.
