Overall my experience at Aston has been fantastic. The city has loads to offer - lots of places to eat and nights out to go clubbing.
The city is great for shopping. The computers in the university could run faster. The students union is great, the loft is the best. The university is good for job prospects through the good links it has. The university overall is amazing.
Commute to university from home. Overall the city and students union add to my experience at Aston, and would recommend looking at the university if you are thinking of applying.
My course is split between engineering and business. The business school's lectures are very good. The university facilities are pretty poor. There is not a decent sports hall. The astro turf is good but not enough parking. The programming support officer is useful.
I have gained so much information which is relevant and the course has given me loads of knowledge
Great course - have a placement year option. The facilities are brilliant but could be improved with more student space and computers. We are getting a new students union soon. The student support at Aston is great. Job prospects depends on what degree I get and I think I have a good chance having done a placement. Overall I'm enjoying it and it has been the best years of my life so far.
The lecture content is great. Haven't needed to use the student support content. Overall I've really enjoyed my time at Aston so far.
Had an amazing time. The university has really good facilities and university offers everything and anything you could want.
Great uni! Great professors who always have the time to help. Perfect location with fantastic job opportunities. Would definitly recommend this uni! So many societies and beautiful campus.
great university, great campus, great lecturers, great academia being taught, accomodation on site and on the door step of the city centre, great transport links with the main train station new street a ten minute walk.
Very good university to go to especially to study optometry and business. Green campus, close to the city centre and stations, friendly staff and students, and new accommodation.
Good uni. With some minor issues but don't know of anywhere else better.
Small but good uni!
Great.
I think that by improving the quality of teaching and making it more interactive, would definitely increase the students' results. Also I would like to try a larger variety of food at Aston University CafeTierra.
The quality of teaching in the Aston Business School and School of Social Sciences & Languages is excellent, the campus facilities are always up to date and available to use (despite the look of the main building and its sky lifts!). The new accommodation on campus is really nice too, and the Union provides some good services.
Very friendly university.Plenty of great facilities on campus, and a sports centre just aroud the corner.Only a 10m walk into the centre of Birmingham.Lots of suppport offered and great libary facilities.
this is a great university and it offers much to encourage students to interact and make the most of their time at the university and it is also willing to offer support if needed
great university in a great city...plenty to do on, around and off campus with broad street and the bullring both a ten to fifteen minute walk away you'll never get bored


I like my course as it has good placement opportunities. There is lots of shopping available in the city although more student space would be nice. The SU has some facilities that are useful but it is very small.
