University of Reading
The University of Reading is consistently one of the most popular higher education choices in the UK. With an unusually broad portfolio of full and part-time degree programmes covering the arts, humanities, sciences and social sciences, offering courses and research in the specialist areas of agriculture, construction management, horticulture, cybernetics, meteorology, real estate and typography, where there are few other national providers.
The conference event will take place at the University of Reading Whiteknights campus. This peaceful 130 hectare country estate, with its conservation meadows, rare tree collection and large lake, is a memorable conference venue.
