The award-winning University of Reading campus in the UK offers students the opportunity to experience a vibrant academic life amid stunning green spaces and cutting-edge facilities.
In Malaysia, students have a wide array of options to pursue a UK degree.
One such option is studying at an international branch campus like the University of Reading Malaysia (UoRM).
UoRM is wholly owned and operated by the University of Reading (UK), an institution renowned for its exceptional teaching, research and graduate employability.
It is ranked 172nd in the QS World University Rankings (2025).
Best of both worlds
The branch campus in Malaysia was established in 2013 and opened its state-of-the-art complex located in EduCity, Iskandar Puteri, in 2015.
Students at UoRM benefit from the best of both worlds: a highly-respected University of Reading degree at a fraction of the cost.
Those studying at UoRM for their full degree pay only 40% of the overall estimated costs compared to studying on the UK campus, taking into account fees and living expenses.
Leading schools, promising careers
Five of the University of Reading’s world-leading schools and institutions are represented at the Malaysia campus, including:
> Henley Business School
> School of Law
> School of the Built Environment
> School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences
> Foundation Studies and Language Institute
The campus offers ‘signature’ degree programmes in professional disciplines where there is a demand for talent, equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed for excellent career opportunities.
These programmes include accounting, finance, management and business, law, psychology, quantity surveying, and real estate. Furthermore, all degrees at UoRM carry relevant industry and professional recognition, significantly enhancing graduate employability.
The university benefits from an experienced, dedicated, and highly qualified academic team, with 75% of those teaching undergraduate programs holding PhDs.
Many faculty members bring with them valuable industry experience, ensuring students receive academic excellence and practical insights relevant to their chosen fields.
Holistic development for future success
One of the key benefits of studying at UoRM is that students receive the same degree awarded at the Reading UK campus, while also enjoying the same pedagogy and academic environment.
This approach is designed to develop students holistically, fostering technical skills and interpersonal abilities necessary for future success, such as problem-solving skills, confidence in English communication and independence in learning.
