NOW armed with A-levels or IGCSE results, the question “what’s next?” may be on some students' minds.
While some might have a clear roadmap of their next step, others however may be overwhelmed with the abundant opportunity that come with these foundational certifications.
To steer clear from decision fatigue, especially during the current Covid-19 pandemic, an option to pick a university and pursue a degree to prepare you for your future career and employability could be beneficial.
University of Reading Malaysia (UoRM), the branch campus of the University of Reading in the United Kingdom, aims to provide students with high-quality and career-enabling education.
Furthermore, the modern, state-of-the-art campus in EduCity, Iskandar Johor, provides an excellent learning environment that includes IT-enabled classrooms, lecture theatre, learning resource centre and student social areas, all conveniently under one roof.
Within EduCity’s guarded compound, students also have access to top-notch sporting facilities as well as a 24-hour student hub.

Besides that, these programmes are designed to give students a head start in their careers as the university carries relevant industry and professional recognition.
This could be achieved by UoRM, which benefits from an experienced and highly-qualified academic team with three quarters of its academic staff – who teach on undergraduate programmes – are PhD-holders.
The award-winning University of Reading in the United Kingdom is only 25 minutes by train to London.
Flexible studying pathway
Besides its top notch education, UoRM provides students with the opportunity to spend one or two years studying at the award-winning University of Reading in the United Kingdom campus.
Interested in the possibility of a flexible education? Take a virtual tour of the UK campus to see if it's a good fit. It is worth noting that the university is only a 25-minute train ride from London.
With the current travel restrictions, this may be a suitable option for parents and students who do not want to wait for the borders to open and pursue their studies all while taking health and safety into account.
Furthermore, the cost of higher education especially one that is done fully overseas, could deter families from sending their children to study abroad. This financial worry could be softened with the universities’ flexibility in education.
Students who study at UoRM pay only 40% of the overall estimated costs compared with studying at the UK campus, taking into account fees and living expenses, but receive the identical University of Reading degree.
Parents and students might be surprised to learn that UoRM fees are comparable with some local private universities in Malaysia, and those with excellent academic results may even qualify for a High Achievers Scholarship worth up to RM33,840.
A-level holders are encouraged to apply to its direct entry undergraduate degree programmes and those with IGCSEs (or equivalent) may opt for a 12-month International Foundation Programme (IFP), first.
