Campus tours are a great way to learn about the University, see our facilities, and decide whether Reading is the right place for you.
These tours are led by current students and allow visitors to ask questions and learn more about study and life at Reading.
Tours take place on Thursdays, morning and afternoon. They will last approximately 90 minutes and will be mostly outdoors, so please dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes.
This is a general campus tour and will not include visits to academic departments or specific department facilities. The student ambassador leading the tour may be doing a course that is different from your interests. They will, however, be happy to answer any questions about student experience at Reading.
To learn more about our programmes, you can:
Although undergraduate student ambassadors lead our campus tours, they can still be useful if you want to explore facilities and get a sense of the University. For more information on postgraduate study, we recommend visiting the postgraduate events page or ordering a postgraduate prospectus.
The University is well connected by rail and road, and our two main campuses are very close to the town centre.
Visit our visiting and travel information page to find out more.
Accommodation visits are not included in the campus tours. The best way to explore the range of options available here at Reading is by visiting our accommodation webpage.
The London Road Campus is the home of the Institute of Education and the School of Architecture. We are not currently offering tours of London Road; however, you are more than welcome to visit this campus after completing your tour of Whiteknights.
If you are running late, are unable to attend the tour, or need any further assistance, please contact us by email at student.recruitment@reading.ac.uk or by phone at +44 (0) 118 378 3880
