he University of Reading’s international branch campus in Malaysia.
STUDENTS and parents seeking a high-quality UK education may be interested to know that University of Reading Malaysia (UoRM), the international branch campus of the University of Reading in the United Kingdom, offers several flexible pathways and options for study there.
The University of Reading (UK), with its rich 125 years of history is renowned for its high-quality teaching, research, and graduate employability and is ranked in the top 200 globally by the QS World University Ranking 2025.
Also known as the “Silicon Valley” of the UK, the town of Reading is conveniently located only a 30-minute train ride from London.
UoRM opened its doors in 2013 as the only international branch campus of the University of Reading (UK) and offers students the best of both worlds – the opportunity to study the same UK degree here in Malaysia.
Flexible study options
Furthermore, students at the Malaysia campus have the option to spend part of their studies at the award-winning Reading UK campus, through the institution’s flexible mobility and transfer programme.

Quality education without premium price tag

Students with A-level, STPM, UEC or equivalent qualifications can apply for direct entry to their undergraduate degree at UoRM.
