Student Communications Team

About us

The Student Communications Team works with staff and students across the University to communicate to current students about essential, urgent, and engaging student topics and aims to support students from Welcome to graduation to ensure they can succeed in whatever way that looks like for them.

 

Get involved

Do you have something to share with students? There are seven different digital platforms that advertise news and events to our student community:

 

Essentials

The Essentials website is a digital handbook of the most important information for students.

If you need to create or update a student webpage that is related to your department, please send your updates to studentcomms@reading.ac.uk and include a link to the page you would like to update.

 

The UoR Student app

The UoR Student app is available for all current students and staff. The app features include:

  • your University outlook calendar (students can see their timetables in this feature)
  • a personalised newsfeed which you can add your news to
  • instant notifications of the most important news and updates
  • quick access to a range of support information and campus maps
  • an easy way to find and check student details
  • a convenient link to the University email inbox and other digital services.

You can submit your news stories to both the UoR Student app and Me@Reading student by using the student news and events content submission form.

If you want to contact the Student Communications team regarding anything to do with the app you can do so by emailing studentcomms@reading.ac.uk.
