Business and International Relations BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

The best part is that progressing through each year for me was very smooth and easy. Difficult problems though stressful at times do eventually get sorted out. Everything is in one area easy to navigate. Hardest part is that you have to be very proactive at uni lectures don’t find you, departments don’t necessarily find you. You have to be aware of what’s going on and figure out who you need to speak to in order to not miss things and get matters sorted.

Business and Management BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

Library services offer laptops that can be borrowed free of charge for hours with easy access, and provides a timer to show how much time is left until it needs to be returned and you can then borrow another laptop to repeat the process. The worst experience is the hot water in the toilets to wash hands as it can cause burning and itchy feeling which can damage the skin, should provide warm water sinks or have hot and cold taps.

Business Analytics MSc

University rating (4)

Best aspect is it vast alumni and student support to connect and network with. Nothing seems to be worst, but area is little busy and noisy where university is situated. Again depends on personal preferences. Some may feel it perfect. Looking at education quality and other aspects, its is just as fine.

Economics BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

Students union and available facilities are great, library is convenient and there are lots of areas to study on campus. Also close to the city centre so you'll never get bored. Bad: lecture rooms could be better and safety in the surrounding areas is questionable

Marketing BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

I enjoyed meeting new people and exploring what the city of Birmingham has to offer. My worst experience have to come from how expensive life is. Finding a job is nearly impossible

Computer Science BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

One of the best things about our university in my opinion is how pleasant the campus is and how great the on site accommodation is, It makes me feel really at home when im staying in my accommodation. Birmingham itself is a bit of a mixed bag though, i think its cool being in the city but there are a lot of homeless people around and i also don’t think the city is as exciting as a lot of other places, like there doesn’t really seem much to do around here really and there are a lot of rough areas. I also think astons student union could be a little better, the building itself and everything is amazing but there doesn't seem to be as much clubs and stuff as a lot of other unis I've seen, though to be honest i haven't really looked into it that much. Overall though i really like it here and im happy with my course, i feel like what im learning is relevant and that there is a lot of support available with work, we also have a lot of great facilities too like a really nice library.

Nursing Studies (Registered Nurse Adult Nursing) BSc

University rating (4)

Embarking on my academic journey at Aston university just six months ago, I find myself compelled to reflect upon my initial experiences and offer a candid review of my university life thus far. As a first-year student, my observations are colored by the freshness of my perspective and the excitement of newfound independence. From the outset, I must commend the welcoming atmosphere that permeates Aston university. As a newcomer to the campus, I was greeted with warmth and inclusivity, instantly easing any apprehensions I may have harbored about starting this new chapter of my life. Faculty members and fellow students alike have proven instrumental in helping me navigate the challenges of university life, fostering a sense of belonging that has been invaluable in my transition. The location of Aston university has undoubtedly contributed to the richness of my academic experience. Situated in a bustling cityscape teeming with cultural diversity and endless opportunities for exploration, the university's locale serves as the perfect backdrop for intellectual growth and personal development. While the campus itself exudes a certain charm, I cannot overlook its shortcomings, particularly in terms of aesthetics and infrastructure. Certain areas appear dated and in need of refurbishment, detracting slightly from the overall ambiance of the university. However, as a first-year student, I am optimistic that these concerns will be addressed in due time, and I remain hopeful for future improvements. Despite these minor drawbacks, my early impressions of student life at Aston university are overwhelmingly positive. The student union serves as a vibrant hub of activity, offering a plethora of events and opportunities for engagement. As a newcomer to campus, I have already found a sense of camaraderie and belonging.
