Self-guided campus tours

The self-guided tour is a great alternative if you wish to visit the campus but are unable to join us in one of our events. It will show you around our award-winning Whiteknights campus and enable you to learn more about life and study at Reading.

You can visit the campus at a time and date that suits you. The tour should take around 90 minutes when taken at a leisurely pace. It is an outdoor experience and will not enter any University buildings. Therefore, please dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes.
