University of Reading Opiniones 3

A rather different POV here, but as someone who recently helped out at an event in the university's Great Hall, I have to say the on-site team, support and facilities are excellent.
When you think of meeting spaces and convention venues in Reading, I appreciate the Great Hall may not pop into your mind as an option, but you really should consider it.

I’m only three months into the two-year MSc Physician Associate Studies course at the University of Reading, and I’m already so impressed with the programme! The teaching staff are incredibly supportive and knowledgeable, making even complex topics approachable. They genuinely care about our development and ensure we feel confident as we progress through the course.

The facilities are excellent, with simulation labs that provide hands-on, practical learning in a safe environment. The integration of academic study with early clinical exposure has been fantastic—it’s clear that the course is designed to prepare us thoroughly for the challenges of being a Physician Associate.

The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, and there’s a real sense of community among students and staff. I feel confident that I’ve made the right choice in joining this programme, and I’m excited for what’s to come in the next stages of my training.

Highly recommended for anyone considering a career as a Physician Associate! 🎓✨

Before I share my honest thoughts, I want everyone to know that almost all the 5* reviews are absolutely paid and fake. I will prove it to you from the pictures attached. Why is it that all the people who left a review have also left reviews for all other universities in Malaysia?
Have they all graduated from 100 universities?
My own review now: This is a 100% wrong and is misleading to students who leave their home from far away to come study in an environment of 0 professionalism. It is also against Googles Policies and I will be flagging all. Simply a way to make money from innocent and aspiring students.
Admission team: I haven't met a worse admission team before. They'll tell you that you can pursue something, but when you travel for two days and come to their campus, they say sorry you can't. They'll also be very blunt about it. They will do everything to lock you into studying law for undergrad. The only person that took care of this properly was Mr Ridhwan.
The law department: it's a whole show run by unprofessional clowns that are all unprofessional in their own ways. They crack jokes in Malay during their classes knowing there's only 2 students from across the world.
They also contact students via WhatsApp instead of emailing. That too at odd hours. They are extremely rude, demoralizing, unprofessional and also discriminatory. You'll have them ask you " what have you come to do here ". No lady, your job is professional lecturer not immigration officer.
One lecturer will be rescheduling her classes atleast 4 times in a few months - while her heads will support her, because apparently thaipusam holiday happens several times in a year. Overall, the whole law department is a dictatorship. And it makes sense why the only bad review is a real review, and it's 'ironically' about the law department! So if you want to do law here! GOOD LUCK! I would even not do law as a whole degree if it meant studying under dictators.
The lecturers: extremely unprofessional, the only lecturers I would give credit and props to would be psychology lecturers Ms Puteri/Mr Izzat, AS lecturer Ms Lina, business lecturer for IFP also knows how to control the class and make it interactive! They have an excellent level of professionalism, and definitely deserve a raise. The rest have got jokes. They will allow people to be eating anything during class, fish, waffles, anything.

The building: They advertise that the whole building is equally shared but the whole half of it is only for Henley Business School. The rest of the courses Psychology, Law, all modules of IFP, are all squashed into only one side of the whole infrastructure. The university is not well maintained at all. The hall ways always smell.
International students: The ratio of international students to locals is 1:25.
Even 1 is too much .
They make it sound like they have lots of international students but the 2/3 that come, realize that there's actually no international students. With that being said, there is a very strong Indian to Indian, Malay to Malay & Chinese to Chinese culture. So don't expect to make much friends! Or even to be treated like a part.
International students team: The uni driver Mr Baskaran Nair is also a highly skilled individual in managing and taking care of students when being picked up from the airport. He deserves a huge raise aswell. Bas doesnt only drive students around but also looks out for them and has a big heart.
Student wellbeing - No one cares here, people will only reach out to you threaten you when you say something. This institutions mission
statement is = Die in Silence. When you speak
up, you will also have security reach out to you, to share his two cents because he is in the same cult with the law department.
I have much more to share if any students need insight please feel free to reach out via my profile. If I saved even one student from coming from across the world to put up with this nonsense, I would be the happiest.

I took it for the team now you'd be stupid if you came here
