College life

On campus, we offer the best possible facilities in a vibrant and welcoming environment. Whatever your area of study, we offer the specialist facilities you’ll need to get the most out of your education and future, including creative art workshops, recording studios, performance spaces, a TV studio, theatre, garage, construction centre and fully-fitted training kitchens.

In between lessons, you can grab a drink or a bite to eat from one of several cafes and shops on campus, have lunch with your friends in the canteen or just hang out in the chill-out areas with comfy sofas.

You can also unwind and get pampered with a variety of hair and beauty treatments at The Salon.

Reading College has a dedicated radio station called Blast 1386. With a combination of industry-standard equipment, professional management and 24/7 broadcasting, it allows students to experience running (and working in) a full-time, live-radio environment.

Activate Learning provides a “calm, welcoming and inclusive learning environment” where learners “enjoy their learning and are respectful of their peers and teachers.”
