The University has four divisions: School of Economics and Social Sciences, School of Arts and Humanities, College of Science and College of Life Sciences. It offers International Foundation Year (intake in January and September), undergraduate, master and doctoral degrees.”

Reading is the first university in the UK to set up banking and securities professional course, and is one of the best law schools in the UK.
