Our magnificent setting is one of the University’s greatest attractions. Many hectares of mature parkland provide the backdrop to an interesting mix of traditional and modern architecture to create a unique campus atmosphere. Campus life at the University of Reading has much to offer our 17,500 students. Contemporary study facilities, halls of residence, support services, cafés and bars are centrally located on one of the most attractive university campuses in the UK. All this is just a short walk or ride from the centre of Reading with its lively mix of culture, nightlife, shops and eating-places. AREAS OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE The quality and diversity of our research is recognised nationally and internationally, with a number of our researchers receiving awards for their work. We are home to several centres of excellence and conduct world-class research across a broad range of disciplines. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise, 20 departments received a rating of 5 and above, with several departments gaining a 5** rating – indicating the highest international quality sustained over more than a decade. Throughout your time with us you will work with international authorities in their fields and be at the frontiers of knowledge. You will be part of an active research community that thrives on challenging ideas and pioneering solutions to complex problems. STUDENT EXPERIENCE As a student with us, you will find the University of Reading has plenty to offer. With its green open spaces, lake, rare trees and wildlife, it is an exceptional environment in which to study, live and relax. Facilities include extensive indoor and outdoor sports facilities, including pitches, courts, playing fields and a fully equipped sports centre, a Student Union’s Union ranked as one of the top UK university entertainment venues, and one of the highest proportions of residential student accommodation among UK universities, with nearly 5000 rooms available. Alongside all this we have a full range of services in place to care for students’ health and wellbeing, including support for those from overseas or with special needs, and a new Students Services Centre will open in Autumn 2007.
