reading uni business and management ucas 2021

hi, i am looking to apply to business and management at reading and i have seen that it is run by henley business school does this mean i will be living by henley business school instead of reading university. or do i live in reading university campus and the professors just be from henley ? this might sound stupid im just confused :smile:

Hey, not at all a stupid question!
The Henley Business school is actually on campus! It was originally in Henley, and in fact still is, but isn’t used for lectures anymore.

The Henley Business school used now is in the center of Whiteknights campus and so is right next to all the other buildings, shops, library, food places and halls!

You can have a look at the business school and the rest of the campus using this link which will take you to a virtual campus tour!

Hi EllenI hope that you can help. My son has 5 offers for Business and Management and his current first choice is Reading. We have two questions:1. Offer ABB is within his predictions but if he had a bad day how flexible have Henley been previously?2. At the open day the presenter described a blended in person / virtual approach to study - at roughly pre-covid levels. But can you clarify the balance? On a normal timetable what might a week look like in terms of large group lectures and smaller discussions and what would be in personMany thanks

Hi @curiousdad

Great questions (and congratulations to your son on his offers, that's great!).

I don't study Business myself, so can't answer this as well as someone who studies the subject - so you could chat to James who will be able to give you a more accurate picture of what the timetable would look like for this subject. I would expect that at least half of what is on the timetable would be in person though, but sorry I can't be more help with that!

In terms of the offer, Reading try to really look at the applicant as an individual, not just their grades, so it is always worth talking to the admissions team if that does happen on results day, if he doesn't get accepted straight away.

I hope that helps a little bit, but please do keep asking questions if there's anything I can clarify for you/you want to know.

Best of luck to your Son for his results - hopefully we will welcome him in September!
