Students have the option to begin their studies this coming July or September.

Upon graduation, students receive the identical University of Reading degree they would receive if they studied in the UK.
All programmes are designed to provide students with a head start in their chosen careers, and where applicable, carry relevant industry and professional recognition.
Students at UoRM also benefit from an experienced and highly qualified academic team. In fact, 75% of the academic staff who teach in undergraduate programmes are PhD-holders.
Students at UoRM 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 the link: https://www.reading.ac.uk/virtual-experience/
The option may particularly appeal to parents who wish to send their children to study in the UK but are concerned about certain travel, health and safety aspects due to the Covid-19 crisis. 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 who study at UoRM pay only 60% of the overall estimated costs compared to studying at the UK campus, considering fees and living expenses. You might also be surprised to learn that its 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, Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) or equivalent qualifications can enrol on the 12-month International Foundation Programme (IFP). Those with A-level and UEC qualifications can apply for direct entry to their undergraduate degrees.
