THE University of Reading (UK) is an ideal choice for students receiving their Unified Examination Certificate (UEC), Ordinary level (O-level) or Advanced level (A-level) results.
The varsity is renowned for its high-quality teaching, research and graduate employability.
The university is ranked 61 in the world for Global Impact by Times Higher Education (2023) and is Top 200 in the QS World University Ranking 2024.
Study at the Malaysia campus, the Reading UK campus or both
Fortunately, students can study with the university without the need to travel to the UK or incur the substantial financial costs associated with overseas education.
Students can pursue their studies at the university's international branch campus in Malaysia, benefitting from state-of-the-art facilities located in EduCity, Iskandar Puteri, Johor.
Students studying at the branch campus enjoy the best of both worlds – the same prestigious University of Reading degree, delivered to the same high-quality academic standards, but at a significantly more affordable cost.
Should they wish, students also have flexible options to transfer to the Reading UK campus, which is only 30 minutes by train from London.
