A Welcoming University with Strong Academics and Global Exposure
Tips: Before coming to Reading, you should definitely be ready for how much independent study there is. Nobody’s going to hold your hand, so you really have to stay on top of your own time, especially when it comes to the research stuff and assignments. My transition was not too bad overall but the culture shock at the start was real. The classes here are way more focused on critical thinking than what I was used to back home.
Socially, it took me a minute to find my feet, but getting involved in a few uni clubs made a massive difference for making friends. I did look into their scholarships during the application process—they’re mostly based on your grades, and if you get one, it usually just knocks a bit off your tuition, which definitely helps. Honestly, I’m really glad I came. The campus has a great vibe, the tutors are actually supportive, and just living in the UK gives you a ton of perspective. Keeping up with expenses is definitely a struggle, but the whole experience has been 100% worth it.

A life changing decision
Tips: Honestly, the whole experience just shifted my entire outlook. It changed how I look at different industries, sure, but it also made me way more level-headed in how I handle things now. I feel like a completely different person than when I started, and I’m actually really proud of that growth. If you get the chance to do this, you should 100% go for it. xox
Likes (Safety): You’ve got CCTV pretty much all over campus, so walking around never really feels sketchy. Even the area just outside is monitored, which definitely helps you feel more at ease. Honestly, the city as a whole is just incredibly safe and even if you're heading home late at night, you never really get that feeling like you need to keep looking over your shoulder.
Dislikes (Internships): The placement cell helps their best to get internship bit for masters sometimes it gets difficult as you get very less time to apply,
But for bachelor’s the support is satisfactory and I have seen majorly everyone getting internship during their bachelorette

Pretty campus and good lessons.
Tips: The campus is extremely vibrant and has some really scenic spots and lakes with a lot of greenery as well. In terms of academics, you will be expected to have an independent approach and a lot of things are assumed to be understood especially certain concepts and fundamentals so remember to be prepared before classes. Critical writing took me a while to grow comfortable with. Good for students.

Peaceful, exciting yet academically rigorous.
Tips: The major cultural shock was the cold; eventually, people will get used to it. If you have zero skills in cooking my advice is to learn cooking, as ordering online or eating out makes a hole in your wallet. I received a scholarship of 10,000 pounds however there are multiple fully funded scholarships available and I would definitely recommend going through them like Felix Scholarship, Chevning Scholarship, etc. I am 100 percent satisfied with the university however it is 20 minutes from London so if someone really wants to live in the hustle and fast pace environment, I would not recommend this university.
Likes (Public transportation): For our university there is a dedicated bus service which operates 24hours, not only this, but the bus service also has a dedicated bus stop inside the university for easy commute. Affordability is amazing as the university is planning to become net carbon zero so they promote bus services for students and provide bus tickets at a lower price for university students.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): If you look at the chances to settle in the country there are many ways to do so like finding a sponsor, Innovative founder visa for new startups which can contribute to the ecosystem, self sponsorship for someone who wants to set up a business there are multiple routes through which one can find permanent settlement however all these routes are extremely competitive and only the best out of rest can make a good use of it. Looking at it through a political lens tells a very different story, as the new amendments to immigration rules and regulations are still under discussion, and obtaining ILR remains a challenge. There is still an ambiguity whether these will remain the same or it will become impossible for immigrants to settle in the UK. Given a chance to permanently settle in would rather say yes.

Friendly and engaging university.
Tips: Mainly, if you follow the process and instructions, everything will be fine, and self-analysis and approach are important in learning new cultures, and the approach towards study is important. Networking plays an important role abroad; you need to make friends, meet new people and interact with them in terms of any help or opportunities. There is a help desk and friendly staff are there to guide you if you have any queries.
Likes (Student Life): College life was much more engaging and interactive; you get enough time to submit your projects and engage in other cultural activities or clubs and other events but securing a job is tough; it entirely depends on your hard work and self-study and personal projects. There is inclusion and it's a big campus and you can able to access the student library and all software mostly for free and you find all types of food and people from different races as well and friendly too.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Move to the UK if you have enough experience in your current field, maybe around 5 years, if you are planning to study for a master's or want to get PR in the UK. Be skilful and be open-minded to learn new things and networking plays an important role in reaching out to companies' people as much as you can to get a sponsorship role. As there are new laws coming up in 2026 so be prepared to approach it strategically.

The university performs strongly academically and has a good student life.
Tips: Reading is 45 minutes away from Heathrow airport and 25 minutes from London Paddington. Henley Business School ranks in the top 10 in the UK. Accommodation ranges from 160-375 PW. 93% of HBS students are employed or pursuing further education post-graduation. International tuition fees range between 25000 and 33000 pa depending on the course. 5000+ international students from 160+ countries.
Likes (Public transportation): For prospective students, the main buses needed for transportation in and out of the university will be the 20 and 21 buses, with the 20 acting as a fast-track bus, allowing you to get to university faster and both buses can be taken from the Reading Station upon arrival. The main way to buy tickets will be either by paying contactless on the hop-on-hop off system or by downloading the Reading buses app and buying tickets; if you add your ID on the app, it should allow you access to pay student prices on the app. Usually, an all-day ticket will cost approximately 5 and allows you to get into any buses in the Reading buses network.
Dislikes (Value for money): As a home-paying fee student 9250 PA, I believe the price I pay for the course is justified as it gives me the opportunities and access to build a network, build new skills through writing essays and conducting presentations throughout my assignments and collaborate with a diverse range of people and also gain work experiences via the university's internship scheme and working in the student union.
