University of Reading
The University of Reading's Postgraduate Admissions department provides support for prospective and current postgraduate applicants. You can inquire about application procedures, entry requirements, document submission, and offer tracking. Most queries can be handled by phone or email, and the Me@Reading applicant portal is available for checking application status. Electronic document submission is preferred, and original copies are not required unless specifically requested. Typical wait times can vary, especially during peak admissions periods, so it's advisable to call during non-peak hours for quicker service.
