About University of Reading

The University of Reading has been at the forefront of UK higher education for nearly a century. Home to innovation, the University pushes academic boundaries and leads social change, both locally and internationally. Our four guiding principles form the foundation of our strategy: a genuine love of learning creating new knowledge embracing and celebrating diversity of people and ideas and caring for our environment. Steeped in history, the University of Reading is among the top 30 UK universities in the world* and is home to over 27,000 students from over 160 countries. Our award-winning green campuses are at the heart of our university community, providing world-class facilities alongside a sustainably-conscious backdrop of nature. In 2025, our Whiteknights campus received its 15th Green Flag Award in a row, and we are considered one of Britain's top green spaces.
