The University of Reading
Reading is ranked as one of the UK’s ten most research-intensive universities, and one of the top 200 universities in the world. It is also one of the highest financially endowed Universities in the UK, at 9th position in the most recent table. We enjoy a world-class reputation for teaching, research and enterprise. Established as an extension Christ Church College, Oxford in 1892, we received a Royal Charter in 1926, the only university to do so between the two World Wars. Important milestones include being the first university to win the Queen’s Award for Export Achievement (1989) and twice receiving the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher Education (1998 and 2006).
