University of Reading Malaysia enables students to gain prestigious UK degrees closer to home
IN Malaysia, students have an array of options to pursue a UK degree by studying at universities with international branch campuses in the country.
One such institution is the University of Reading – renowned for its high-quality teaching, research, and graduate employability, and ranked 61st in the Times Higher Education (THE) Global Impact Rankings 2023.
This university’s international branch – University of Reading Malaysia (UoRM), was established in 2013 and welcomed students to its state-of-the-art complex located in EduCity, Iskandar Puteri, in 2015.
Students studying at UoRM enjoy the best of both worlds – the same highly-prestigious
University of Reading degree but at a more affordable cost.
Students who complete their degrees at UoRM, pay only 40% of the overall estimated costs
compared with studying on the UK campus, factoring in both fees and living expenses.

All degrees offered at the campus carry relevant industry and professional recognition, enhancing the employability of graduates.
UoRM also benefits from an experienced, dedicated and highly qualified academic team. Many of the lecturers possess industry experience, with 75% of whom are PhD holders.
Holistic education
One of the key advantages of studying at UoRM is that students not only earn the same degree awarded on the Reading UK campus but also benefit from the same pedagogy and academic environment.
This environment is designed to foster holistic student development, nurturing both hard and soft skills essential for future success. For example, students develop their problem-solving skills, build confidence in English communication, and become independent learners.
World-class campus
UoRM’s state-of-the-art campus in EduCity, Iskandar Puteri, Johor, opened its doors to students in 2015.
UoRM’s state-of-the-art campus is a spacious, modern facility that houses IT-enabled classrooms, lecture theatres, a learning resource centre and student social areas all conveniently under one roof.
Based in EduCity, Asia’s first multi-campus education city, students enjoy facilities that include an Olympic swimming pool, running track, indoor stadium, fitness centre, music studio and a Student Hub.
One of the best ways for young people to develop their independence and self-discipline, is by living away from home. For UoRM students, there are a variety of affordable accommodation options, from the Student Village that sits within EduCity, or nearby service apartments.
Excellent digital learning support
With its interactive approach, students benefit from the same advanced digital learning tools and support that is available on the UK campus.
This includes access to platforms such as the Blackboard Learning Management System, Blackboard Collaborate and Microsoft Teams. Students also have round-the-clock access to the university’s digital library which contains thousands of journals and e-books.
