Good place to study as it’s close to city centre. Bad place to study as everything can be taught online making signing up for university a waste of money. The exams aren’t marked fairly between students as there’s bias between examiners and they don’t care once their module is done. Uni fees continue to rise each year but the value students receive every year is decreasing especially after during and after covid-19.
Friendly, convenient city campus.
Aston University is great if you want to build all the necessary skills to thrive post graduation! The support from the Careers and Placement team is amazing, they always host a range of events and there is always something for everyone. The lecturers really care about you too!
It’s good how it’s situated in town. It would be ideal if we had more room for our course in the uni. I think the teaching areas are too small to accommodate for our course.
The best aspect of Aston University is that the campus is close to the student accommodations so it is easy to get to university. All the buildings are close to each other unlike other universities that have multiple campuses. The food range in the cafeteria could be improved as well as the MyAston app.
Campus is near to city centre, easy to travel. Campus is not too big therefore not hard to find classes.
Best aspects of my uni experience was having a lot of events of free food, giveaways by the Student Union. In that way there is support. Worst aspects would be the continuous strikes by my Sociolgy department which had made things less motivating.
I have had a good time studying at university and enjoy my course.
The campus activities, the student union and the polite treatment from employees.
As a student who's experience was heavily influenced by the pandemic, the SU ensured social engagement was pivotal and they encouraged students to be involved to help with mental health.
Central location, poor balance of async/live lectures. Facilities are old.
Great campus location, needs to be more accessible lecturers and teaching staff.
Best experience since I joined Aston is friendly and social aspect of the students and all stuff at Aston. Being an international student, I never felt lonely, lost or regrets for studying abroad. With the help Aston stuff I settled quickly and started focusing on my studies. The location is perfect.I can access Birmingham City Centre within the shortest time possible. In addition the weather and serene surroundings provide fresh and cool air with refreshing effect.
It’s a great campus there are lots of shops near by and the food at the student union is amazing. You get lots of support from staff when you need it.
I get the fact that it is a large institute holding many people of an educational background, however people would benefit from the experience a bit more if there was a bit more sense of community. Yes societies work, however it would be better if we have a lot more smaller communities that bring a lot of impact, more on the educational side of uni life. I say this because when students enter this new institution there is a chance that they can become lost in the shadows of the place and not fit in. This improvement would account for all students and able to build one big strong community together and that's what truly make a massive difference; like in secondary school, as it is much smaller and easier to build this community and that's what keeps people going through, succeeding their studies and having a great time overall. I For anybody, it's not great to miss out on the benefits of education as well as feeling groggy about it throughout how many years they study. And yes it may be their initial choice however to have something strong that helps them, that guides them through every moment is truly key to achieving what would be great for them and they know it. We all do. And that's the beauty of it all.
Based on my ratings you can tell that I have no problems with Aston University as a student. As a student who was scared to move to a different city for education Aston University did a good job by making me feel comfortable.
Overall a good atmosphere but it could have more societies
Great campus

I don’t feel very supported by the uni as my emails are usually ignored. However student life is great and the uni is in a nice location.
I think the blended hours are perfect and lecturers can be attentive at times.
