Overview
The University of Reading Malaysia (UoRM) is a wholly-owned international branch campus of the University of Reading, UK, a historic institution with origins extending back over 150 years. Officially opened in 2016, the purpose-built Malaysian campus enables international students to complete a British degree within an accessible, resource-rich Southeast Asian setting.
The institution delivers an elite academic portfolio through highly regarded specialist divisions, including the Henley Business School Malaysia and the School of the Built Environment. International students can pursue undergraduate qualifications across several disciplines, including Accounting and Finance, Management, Real Estate, Quantity Surveying, and Psychology.
Under flexible split-campus frameworks, students have the option to transfer seamlessly to the award-winning Whiteknights home campus in the UK for a portion of their degree. Furthermore, the qualification awarded upon completion is completely identical to the degree issued in the UK. The state-of-the-art campus features advanced audio-visual lecture theatres, modern laboratory spaces, and a comprehensive learning resource centre, ensuring a premium educational experience that achieves up to a 60% cost saving compared to completing the full duration of studies in the UK.
Services
The Student Services Department at UoRM provides comprehensive administrative and personal welfare support to facilitate a smooth transition for international arrivals. Key services include complete management of student visa applications via official regulatory bodies, alongside dedicated arrival coordination services from regional transport hubs.
The university organises a structured orientation event designed to introduce new arrivals to academic expectations, health insurance provisions, and campus infrastructure. Continuous academic development is supported by dedicated faculty advisors, and specialised pre-sessional and in-sessional university English language courses are available to refine academic literacy.
