Associations and mergersOver the last 85 years the University has developed close links with anumber of other institutes and colleges.College of EstateManagementNational College of FoodTechnologyInstitute of EducationThe College of Estate Management was founded in 1919 to teachcourses by correspondence for professional examinations and forthe new London external degree of BSc (Estate Management). In 1938the College was recognised by the University of London as an institutionproviding tuition for its internal degree. In 1967 the Collegebecame associated with the University of Reading, and the Faculty ofUrban and Regional Studies was founded. The College moved fromKensington to Whiteknights in 1972. The University took responsibilityfor teaching for Reading internal degrees, but the Collegecontinues to operate under its own Royal Charter to provide distancelearning, conferences and research for the land and constructionindustry. The University validates the College’s BSc programmes inBuilding Surveying, Construction Management, Estate Management,Property Management and Quantity Surveying, its MBA programmein Construction and Real Estate and its MSc programmes in Conservationof the Historic Environment, Facilities Management, PropertyInvestment, Real Estate, and Surveying.During 2010 the University and the College agreed to pursue independentfutures and a Working Party has been established to overseethe transition.The National College of Food Technology at Weybridge became partof the University in 1966 and in 1982 moved to Whiteknights to sharea purpose-built Food Studies building with the University’s Departmentof Food Science. A combined Department of Food Science andTechnology was established in 1986 and this became the School ofFood Biosciences in 1999 which, in turn, became part of an integratedSchool of Chemistry, Food and Pharmacy in 2006.Bulmershe College, Earley, which was for many years associatedwith the University’s School of Education, merged with the Universityin 1989 leading to the creation of the Faculty of Education andCommunity Studies, now incorporated as an Institute within theFaculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Science.10
