There are just three weeks to go before the University of Reading Malaysia’s (UoRM) first Open Day at the outstanding new campus in Educity, Iskandar. The Open Day on 22 and 23 August will allow prospective students and their parents to visit the campus, talk to the international academic team and find out more about what it will be like to study at UoRM. The campus opening in September is the most significant milestone yet in the development of the University of Reading Malaysia (UoRM) – an institution designed to bring the best elements of a UK university education to the heart of south-east Asia. Overseeing all the developments is the University’s Provost, Professor Tony Downes. He believes the new Malaysian university will offer its students a unique higher education experience.
“The University of Reading has been successfully educating international students for more than a century,” he said. “Malaysian graduates of Reading are already leading businesses and professions, all over the world - not least here in Malaysia. “Now students will be able to have the best of both worlds – the chance to study for a UK degree, taught by top academics, but in dynamic Malaysia.” However, UoRM students will still have the chance to study in Europe. Every student is guaranteed the opportunity to spend up to a year studying at the University’s main campus in Reading, just outside London. This makes getting a UK degree with UK study experience more flexible, accessible and affordable than ever before. Scholarships of up to 100% are also available for the brightest and best students.
Courses are available in a range of professional subject areas. There are foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in business and finance, quantity surveying, real estate, and psychology, plus English language teaching, and the prestigious Henley Business School MBA. There are also plans for courses in law and pharmacy to launch from 2016.
“Asia is the continent for the 21st century,” said Professor Downes. “This is the most dynamic country in the most exciting region in the world, and we’re proud to be part of it. We’re ready to welcome students to our new home.”
