The entire campus is oriented towards creating a friendly atmosphere in the form of social hubs, coffee shops and a nightclub. This gives you countless opportunities to make friends. The facilities on offer within the psychology department and the Centre of Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics (CINN) are really good too. Being able to work with the latest scientific equipment was a crucial factor in me choosing to carry on my Masters here.

History
We are proud of our long and fascinating history at the University of Reading. Our tradition of academic excellence dates back to the late nineteenth century and owes much to the vision and generosity of several notable individuals.Our origins lie in the Schools of Art and Science established in Reading in 1860 and 1870. These became part of an extension college opened in 1892 by Christ Church, Oxford. The college thrived, receiving its first treasury grant in 1901. Three years later the local Palmer family, of the famous biscuit manufacturer Huntley & Palmers, donated our London Road site. Their continued support helped to fund expansion, including the opening of Wantage Hall in 1908 and The Research Institute in Dairying in 1912. We received a Royal Charter in 1926, the only university to do so between the two world wars. At the same time, Dr William M Childs became the University’s first Vice-Chancellor.
