THE choice of the right institution of higher learning profoundly impacts a student's academic journey, career prospects, and personal growth, making it crucial to select wisely.
The University of Reading (UK) is an ideal choice for students receiving their International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), Advanced Level (A-level), Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) or Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) results.
The varsity is renowned for its high-quality teaching, research, and graduate employability, and is ranked 169th globally by the QS World University Rankings (2024).
Study at the Malaysia campus, the Reading UK campus or both
Fortunately, students do not have to travel all the way to the UK nor incur the huge financial expense of an overseas education to study with the university.
Students can study at the university’s international branch campus in Malaysia (UoRM) with 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.
Top-ranked schools and programmes
Five of the university’s world-leading schools and institutions are represented at the Malaysia campus, including
> Henley Business School
> School of Law
> School of the Built Environment
> School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences
> Foundation Studies and Language Institute
The campus offers a selection of the university’s ‘signature’ degree courses in professional disciplines which provide students with excellent career opportunities:
> Accounting and Finance
> Finance and Business Management

> Law
> Psychology (with or without a one-year professional placement)

> Real Estate
