This clue might be a double definition.

'english university' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'looking at literature' is the second definition.
'reading' can be an answer for 'literature' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'looking at' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reading that I've seen before include "Very elementary subject" , "Grained (anag)" , "Town west of London" , "southern English town" , "First contribution to educational foundation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
