Accounting and Finance - BSc (Hons)
There are many study areas in the main building, both social and just leave ones when you feel you want to have a peaceful study session. There are also study rooms available which come in very handy when you need to work on group projects. It was initially very difficult for me to get around what with being a first year, however there are many boards up signalling what directions to go in for which rooms. I wouldn’t really say there’s much need for improvement at Aston as they have many facilities.

Close to town and shops in birmingham. However, security isn't the highest priority on campus as I have heard and experienced myself being harassed on campus by random men later in the evening when it's dark.

Its an amazing place to study and there is ample support for the mai. September intake. However, the same amount of sessions, support is not available for other intakes from the beginning and that makes it a little confusing for new students

Aston university is super helpful and committed to its students in terms of career growth and employment. They have a great career focus 1-year module called Aston Global Advantage which is superb if you want to be a business leader. I really loved their job placement team, library facilities and student union. The Aston Business Faculties are constantly trying their best and there is still room for improvement. As a student of accounting they also help me to get Sage certification in free including the training for the software. Aston University have the highest amount of Chancellor's scholarship which I have won. They just do everything to satisfy and support their students. Overall I am incredibly satisfied with Aston university.

Being a postgraduate disabled student of Aston University, my university experience has been going amazing so far! Best aspects: Accessibility Services: Aston University offers comprehensive accessibility services for students with disabilities. These services can include accommodations for coursework, exam arrangements, accessible campus transportation, and other resources to ensure equal access to academic opportunities. Inclusive Campus Environment: Aston University has adopted policies and practices to create inclusive campus environment that welcomes and supports students with disabilities. This can include accessible buildings, inclusive language, and diverse representation. Worst aspects: Limited Accessibility: Despite efforts to make campus more accessible, Aston University may still have limited accessibility for students with disabilities. This can include buildings that are not wheelchair accessible or inaccessible technology used for coursework. Lack of Awareness and Understanding: Some faculty and staff may lack awareness and understanding of the challenges faced by students with disabilities, which can lead to inadequate support and accommodations.
