Education in Reading (England)
Reading is the home of The University of Reading which is ranked as one of the UK’s 10 most research-intensive universities and as one of the top 200 universities in the world. Reading University is based on a campus two miles from the city centre and provides a full set of university courses. Reading University enjoys a world-class reputation for teaching, research and enterprise.
Associated with Reading University is Gyosei International College, a Japanese/British bi-cultural institution which has led to Reading having a significant Japanese student population. Around 1988, Gyosei International College's links with the Japan-based Gyosei organisation were broken, and the College became a charitably funded institution called Witan Hall. Recently, it appears that this has also failed and Witan Hall has been purchased by the University of Reading, who have closed down student recruitment.
Reading is also host to one of the largest Universities in England, Thames Valley University . Although the University is spread across the Thames Valley, the University in Reading has 20,000 students alone.
Formerly Reading College and School of Arts and Design, TVU mergered with the College in 2004.
Reading is also the home of several commercial English language summer schools, including:
Padworth College
Parkland Language School
