Aston University Reviews

I didn’t just study here. I was rebuilt here. I came to Aston from Vietnam with a suitcase, a laptop, and the quiet terror of someone who had never written a system requirements document in a second language. I left with something I didn’t expect: the confidence to walk into any boardroom and speak the language of both business and technology fluently. The MSc in Information Systems and Business Analysis is not a comfortable degree, and that’s exactly the point. The CESIM simulation, the IS Implementation module, the relentless pushback from faculty who treat you as a professional in training rather than a student to be managed — none of it lets you coast. By the time I was researching ERP systems for a real county council, I wasn’t guessing. I was applying. Aston gave me a framework for thinking, not a template. There’s a difference. And Aston understands it. 5/5. Not because everything was perfect. But because it was worth every version of hard.
