Aston University

Very urban inner city university. Some very good lecturers however a lot of disruptive students. Lots of people from Birmingham and local students. Campus can become rough at night time

I've very much enjoyed my time at university. The campus is located next to Birmingham city centre and short walk from numerous accommodation buildings. I've enjoyed studying chemical engineering as it can be very technical and hands on. Astons career services are tremendous, helping me secure placement at a top automotive company and I hope to return in the near future

Aston is a great university it's not Russel group but it's good nevertheless. There's lot of opportunities put forward for placements like talks and internship talks. The campus is nice small and cosy but it's loud at times. The courses are not too bad either

Where can I start! If you want the full round experience of uni life Aston is the place to go! I couldn't recommend any better place to go for independence and night life. The student accommodation is very nice as well and shops r no less than 5 minutes away

The campus is in a great location, Birmingham City Centre is a really short walk. You have access to every shop and restaurant you can think of. The uni feels very safe and comfortable and there's shops/costa on the doorstep. I'm studying Business and Management and the course is great!!

Best uni ever. The members 9f staff are very polite and kind. I have managed to make a lot of friends whilst here than I have ever made before that.

The school is great really academically and mentally supportive however it's smack in the city centre so the social life on campus is a bit dead. The careers service is fantastic.

The campus is very easy to navigate in which is very good. The facilities are mostly very modern. Th student union are very helpful but the building could be larger and more modern. But overall a good uni

The campus is Always lively and clean which makes it more enjoyable to walk around. There's several methods of career services for placements and part time jobs across the radius of the city as well

Aston university is a diverse university that helps every student succeed in everyway possible. Making it the best uni in the world

It is a really good university, I enjoy coming here. It is a really nice building with clean student accommodation, that gets cleaned regularly.

Campus is right next to the city centre. Great atmosphere and location. Wide subject range covered on business courses. Lecturer and tutor support available. Careers help availible. New union being built- continuous improvement being made to the building.

The campus is really nice. It's not hard to get around the campus. My course so far is really good and I am enjoying it. I don't know too much about the student union and I am well aware that career services are very good here at this university.

A fantastic environment for socialising being in the centre of Birmingham amazing state of the art facilities and a great place to learn

I've found my course to be intellectually challenging with the staff members to be helpful, clear and compelling. I've found the support given by the university to be very helpful in recent years, especially with my mental health. The student union has been a useful part of my university experience, as they've helped me find societies where I have made friends for life. The library has been brilliant over the last few years, a great place to study in silence or to use the pcs.

Very nice university. Best professors and amazing teaching material. Worth doing my undergraduation here

Good uni overall but engineering school isn't very well managed. Lab equipment was often faulty. 24hour Pc clusters were useful.

Love the uni, people are so kind and the teachers are so passionate about what they teach! We have great discussions in lectures and everyone is respectful to each other

Very good university with good facilitators and buildings. Friendly staff and good modules. Always helpful and small campus

Great university with supportive lecturers who are there to ensure that you have a good learning experience and that you obtain the best grade possible. I have been able to get involved in extra curricular activities because of the different opportunities available

Small campus in city centre location, great links, modern and old buildings. Plenty of accommodation within minutes which are quite pricey.

Everything you need as being a student can find here. Am very glad that I’ve actually chosen this particular university - really worth it.

Mathematics degree would not be recommended at this uni, as the lectures are not willing to help unless they can be bothered. However the university itself is lovely and would recommend for the business school

Aston University is a beautiful campus which is well kept and maintained. Support for students is available within every sector of the University, such as IT, health care and financial support. They constantly ask students for feedback, showing that they care about the students opinions and value their thoughts which ultimately affect the progression of the university. English Language BSc is a plentiful degree which systematically reviews the utilisation and analysis of communication, whilst cross analysing it with real life practical scenarios. Job opportunities are explored throughout the course, allowing students to relate their module to an actual job role to help with future decisions. The only down fall I feel, is the technological resources. The computers are old and there are always issues with the internet and certain softwares. The first time I had an online examination, the exam was postponed for over an hour due to technological problems! There are limited printers and scanners available throughout the university. During busy periods (examination times) it is difficult to find areas of study that you can remain in, however the university is opening new areas to address this problem. Comparing resources, Aston appears behind other unis - for example, my friend attends DMU where there are Macs on site and hot water taps available for students to use for lunch/hot drinks (Aston also has an expensive cafeteria). Another downfall that is beneficial to tech/science and business students, is that they have their own private study rooms which seems unfair from an outsiders point of view. From glances inside the glass doors, the rooms are decorated with sofas and study spaces which always seem empty. Overall, Aston University is a lovely campus that does have their students interests at heart. With only a few down falls which may be constrained by funding, I think Aston is a great learning environment which provides excellent teaching and well thought out degree structuring.
