A warm welcome to all new and returning students joining us to study in the new academic year 2024/25. 

Welcome at Reading is all about settling in to student life, finding your way around, making friends and familiarising yourself with events, support and opportunities available to you. 

This year welcome will take place from 23 - 27 September, 2024.

The welcome app will be available to download in September to help plan your schedule.  New students are encouraged to attend your school introduction sessions as a priority.  Create a schedule of your preferred welcome activities in the app.  Returning students are also welcome to attend any intro sessions or welcome activities as a refresher.

For key information about settling into life as a University of Reading student, check out the Welcome Booklet.

This is also a great time to explore extracurricular opportunities and what the Students 'Union societies have to offer.

Advice on travelling to campus and finding your way around Whiteknights and London Road campus when you arrive.

Week 1 teaching will commence on 30 September 2024 for most students.
