Initially eduroam was problem in the beginning of the semester but as time went by it got better. The careers support is very helpful and I would say is one of the best. Shout out to Dr Amanda Gill!! The students union nights on Wednesdays can be a bit boring sometimes, need to change up the music maybe and not play the same tunes all the time. A suggestion would be have an Afro vibe for Wednesday Union. read more

The university is great. Lecturers are nice and actually care for your future, giving advice and opening doors for career pathways. The accommodation is also well maintained, and you are encouraged to build a community with your flatmates and neighbours. read more

The reason I am at the Reading University is because it is the only university that offered Foundation Year starting in January, and that’s what I needed. But after progressing to the actual course, I discovered how great this uni is. Starting from campus and ending with studying facilities everything motivates you to work and achieve more. Also, there’s a lot of entertainment facilities on campus - societies, club nights, eating places - so you definitely won’t be bored. I recommend this uni a lot! read more

The pubs on campus are nice for post-graduates. I have not interacted too much with the societies or union as a post-grad but they appear to have lots of opportunities. The careers service have been really great for me, very friendly and helpful. The internet can be hit or miss but generally good enough read more

“From Curiosity to Purpose” When I arrived at the University of Reading, I was driven by curiosity—a desire to question and grow. During my MSc in Pharmacy Practice by Research, I realised pharmacy is not just about science—it’s about people. My supervisors challenged me to think deeply, transforming my learning into meaningful contributions. Now, as a PhD student in Pharmacy Practice, my curiosity has become purpose. Every day, I’m inspired by the knowledge that my research could improve lives, advance practices, and spark innovation. This isn’t just a story of my education. It’s the story of finding purpose, and it began at the University of Reading. read more

There's more clubs and societies than all other universities I've heard about. There's a very wide range and the majority don't require paid membership. The sports ones usually require a fee, and if they need to use the sports park that's very expensive. The price to use the Sportspark (gym, table tennis rooms etc.) increased like 400% in a year, it's a ridiculous price tbh. read more

The campus facilities are my favourite parts of u u as there are loads of events that take place their i loved tge society’s fair at the beginning of the year and there are still events going on now. For example the other day there was a vintage clothing sale which i thought was just amazing. the food market every thursday is incredible and i love when their are occasional plant sales outside the SU. Bagelman and the korean store are a perfect addition to the SU aswell. read more

I cannot comment on other degrees but for someone studying biology related degree, the facilities and staff are outstanding. I’ve never felt more supported and happy whilst studying.
