1,047 Aston University, Birmingham reviews

The course was taught well and the hours and contact time was more than needed. I could always get a quick appointment with a tutor.

The nights out and part time jobs are a big bonus. Birmingham is reasonable for the cost of living but it is expected that as the UK's second biggest city it can be pricey.

The halls are in a very good location right on campus and I always felt safe. However, they are expensive.

I feel comfortable and at ease when they are speaking to me. I believe that when a tutor shows humility a human side anything that doesn't point towards perfect knowledge and mastery of a subject it boosts my confidence and fuels my passion for the subject being taught.

It is almost perfect! Black board system might need to replace

Due to covid contact hours have not been the usual hours so it’s easy for me to say that the improvement of make is more contact hours.

The lecturers are great overall. Very helpful and will guide you through what you need to do to achieve your desired grades. All lectures are recorded and posted on blackboard. You have the choice to have online or face to face meetings. The course experience went smoothly even with the pandemic.

More tutorials would be appreciated and access to extra mock papers to help facilitate learning. The content is delivered in a good way, perhaps more interaction can be included in the campus sessions.

Two of the modules I'm doing have quite similar content which is kind of annoying but apart from that I quite like the course content. The majority of lecturers are quite good but there's the occasional one that's not great, however Aston as a whole has a very strong reputation for post grad employment rates.

Birmingham can be quite expensive but even on a student budget it's fine as long as you're smart with purchases. There's also loads of opportunities to get jobs whilst at uni and after you've graduated in the very diverse city.

The on site location is very helpful and means you're never more than 5 minutes away from your lectures which definitely helps motivation for going to them. Its pretty safe as there's security guards a lot of the time and gates on the emtrances to the accommodation.

The course content has been what I expected it’s challenging yet interesting at the same time. I just feel as though exams and dissertations and courseworks are too close togther and not enough time is provided to properly excel in these areas.

Biomedical science is a subject that covers a vast range of topics and you can get into anything you desire from postgrad medicine to masters. The support given by tutors is consistent throughout the year.

I enjoy the blended approach although having one day in person is a shame considering I moved to the area for study so there is less point in being there all the time. The teaching however is very good and my department is extremely helpful friendly and approachable and offer support/ great at providing support when asked for it.
