University of Reading Malaysia
Visit WebsiteAs a student at the University of Reading, you may have the unique opportunity to Study Abroad for part of your degree at our University of Reading Malaysia campus (UoRM).
AN EXCITING NEW SETTING FOR YOUR STUDIES
The University of Reading Malaysia (UoRM) campus is located in the South of Malaysia near the border with Singapore, in a dedicated education hub called EduCity in Iskandar, Johor.
The UoRM campus provides an exciting location with state-of-the-art facilities for you to build upon your learning and experience. It offers an architecturally stunning environment designed to provide you with everything you need to make the most of your time at university.
Class sizes tend to be much smaller at UoRM which is something UoR students who previously studied abroad in Malaysia have particularly enjoyed. It is a very supportive learning environment where all of the lecturers will likely know you by name. There are excellent study spaces around campus as well as more social group areas.
UoRM has global links, so you will be able to collaborate with UoRM students and study alongside peers from other countries. As you are already a University of Reading student, applying to study abroad at our campus in Malaysia is easy and straightforward. It could add a new, beneficial and intriguing dimension to your degree studies.
Students will be taught by international academic staff and have the same high-quality learning experience as in the UK. UoRM offers an up-to-date and innovative approach to teaching, designed to ensure that students are well prepared to excel in their chosen careers.
For academic year 2025/6 students who study abroad at the University of Reading Malaysia will be eligible to apply for and potentially receive Turing funds to support your studies there.
Johor Bahru has a wonderfully diverse culture and is also the fastest developing city in Malaysia. The proximity to Singapore means you can easily visit there on a day trip. But also, Johor Bahru is well connected to the rest of Malaysia, and the wider region, making travelling to other regions and neighbouring countries simple and convenient. Students often make the most of their time on weekends and holidays to explore other parts of Malaysia and further afield!
