The University of Reading’s state-of-the-art branch campus in EduCity, Iskandar Puteri in Johor.
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.
