A UK EDUCATION has long been held in high esteem, with a solid reputation for prestige and quality education. However, rising costs of living may be a deterrent for those considering further education there, especially now with travel and quarantine requirements.
But you can now reap the benefits of a UK education right on our own shores, as University of Reading Malaysia (UoRM) makes high-quality UK education more accessible, affordable and flexible than ever.
The state-of-the-art UoRM campus is located at EduCity, Iskandar Johor.
UoRM is the international branch campus of the University of Reading UK and an excellent choice for students with IGCSE, A-Levels, UEC and other equivalent results, with the option to start their studies this coming April 2022, or later in July or September.
Students at EduCity have access to world-class sports facilities and a 24-hour student hub.
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 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.
The spacious learning resource centre (LRC) has plenty of study areas including breakout rooms.

All programmes are designed to provide students with a head start in their chosen careers, and where applicable, carry relevant industry and professional recognition.
UoRM students also benefit from an experienced and highly-qualified academic team. In fact, 75% of the academic staff who teach on undergraduate programmes are PhD-holders.
Students can also take advantage of the flexible options to spend one or even two years studying at the award-winning Reading UK campus. A virtual tour of the UK campus is available at https://www.reading.ac.uk/virtual-experience/
The award-winning campus in Reading UK is only 30 minutes by train to London.
The option may particularly appeal to parents who wish to send their children to study in the UK but are concerned about travel restrictions and health and safety in the current pandemic situation. Reading town is conveniently only a 30-minute train ride from London.
Although the cost of university education is a major financial burden for many families, the investment can prove to be one of the smartest over the long-term in providing one’s child with the best start in their professional life.
Students at UoRM pay only 40% of the overall estimated costs compared with studying at the UK campus, taking into account fees and living expenses. You might also be surprised to learn that the fees are comparable with some other local private universities in Malaysia, and those with excellent academic results may even qualify for a High Achiever’s Scholarship worth up to RM33,840.
Those with IGCSE, SPM or equivalent can enrol on the 12-month International Foundation Programme (IFP). Those with A-levels and UEC qualifications can apply for direct entry to undergraduate degrees.
