Gain a world-class business degree
THE University of Reading Malaysia (UoRM) is expanding and growing in the delivery of its world-class programmes in Malaysia.
Having introduced its Foundation in Business in September 2013, UoRM then launched its first undergraduate programme in September last year – the BSc in Finance and Business Management.
The BSc in Finance and Business Management is an innovative programme focused on the areas of finance and business management, delivered through the university’s world-renowned and prestigious Henley Business School.
This programme combines the leadership and management studies for which the Henley Business School is famous for.
The two intakes for the degree (September and January) address the needs of different secondary school systems in the country and provide different options for students.
The University of Reading is renowned for its exciting and innovative researchled teaching, friendly and supportive environment, and excellent graduate employability record.
Students of the new Malaysian campus will benefit from the same world-class student experience found in its campus in the United Kingdom.
While the cost of studying at UoRM is significantly lower than the cost of studying the same programme in the UK campus, the opportunities for learning are as diverse.
UoRM offers scholarship opportunities for students who have performed excellently and awards high achievers throughout their studies at the university.
UoRM’s soon-to-becompleted main campus in EduCity, Iskandar, will bring together the best of its UK campus experience within the natural and cultural environment of Malaysia.
The main campus will open in September and will cater up to 2,500 students.
It will offer programmes at the undergraduate level (subject to approval by the Ministry of Education of Malaysia) in the subject areas of business and management, accounting, finance, real estate, quantity surveying, pharmacy, psychology and law.
Programmes at the postgraduate level will be available from early next year.
A range of new research collaborations are also being explored with Malaysian and international partners to further embed the university’s research excellence in the region.
University of Reading vicechancellor David Bell says that the university is delighted to be part of the EduCity initiative and to meet the growing demand for its brand of quality education.
“We have about 3,000 graduates from the University of Reading in Malaysia and Singapore, the majority of whom travelled to the United Kingdom to experience our unique offerings, first-class resources and world-class teaching,” says Bell.
“We are therefore proud and excited to have the opportunity to deliver the same experience to students in the Asia-Pacific region at EduCity in Iskandar.
“We are consciously and proactively developing this campus to offer the best experience to students, from the infrastructure of our facilities to the education delivered,” says Bell.
University of Reading is ranked within the top 1% of all universities globally and has attracted international students to its campus in the UK for more than 100 years, besides having a long association with Malaysia.
Having received its first Malaysian student in 1934, the university now has more than 1,400 alumni from Malaysia with 114 Malaysian students having graduated in the last two years in areas of study such as law, finance and quantity surveying.
Each programme, no matter the level of study, will draw on the long-established reputation of the university for academic excellence and tailored support.
UoRM’s impressive future 15-acre (6ha) campus in Iskandar is designed to provide students with everything they will need to have a great learning experience at the university.
In addition, students of any programme will gain the opportunity to study at the University of Reading’s campus in the UK.
