Our new, £60m Health and Life Sciences building is purpose-built for teaching and research.
It houses a flexible teaching lab that can be subdivided to create up to four separate spaces. It is also home to seminar rooms, a cafe and a social space.
Biomedical engineering student Katie McAreavey spent a semester at Colorado State University in Fort Collins as part of our Study Abroad scheme.
“One of the benefits to studying abroad was that I was able to pick modules that wouldn’t have been on offer to me at Reading. This not only gave me the opportunity to diversify my education, it also boosted my final grade for the year."
Faustina Hwang,
Professor of Interactive Systems Design
