OLD FIRE STATION, DONT GO! Honestly, I'm genuinely telling you guys thinking about booking here to stop while you can. My boyfriend and I started the booking process earlier this year unfortunately and the staff have been disgusting. The staff have manipulated us by not giving us the full information of what we were getting into and we are ending up having to pay 5 grand more than what was agreed. I am pretty broke so I can't afford this and will have to think about changing my course to a different location. They mislead us, gave us vague information, didn't communicate the terms and essentially scammed us. Genuinely from my heart, this company has caused both our families so much stress, they only care about the money, they have not apologised once and they have been extremely unethical. You honestly don't want anything to do with this place because they took advantage of us and probably will to you. They don't care about you, they only care about the money.

Great university in terms of social life and facilities. There are a lot of different things you can do outside of your studies. Can't say the same about studies. Often it feels that nobody pays attention to students' issues with studies. Some modules have the same content but just different name and delivery. The careers services are amazing. Very helpful, running multiple events and workshops during the term time.

I came to Aston through clearing after getting rejected by what I thought was my dream university (UoM). Honestly I think its the best thing that could have ever happened to me for my future career - the career focus here is AMAZING! You get constant help with your CV and applications, all of the staff know what they're doing.

The campus itself is very green which is refreshing in such a dense city like Birmingham. The SU is brand new and looks nice but seems more like a sixth-form centre and quite boring inside which is a shame. The lecturers at Aston were fantastic, they were all very friendly and approachable and were clear professionals. They answered emails fairly quickly and were thorough in their support (I was on a foundation year so this was very important!). The facilities are outdated to say the least, they really need to invest some serious money into expanding the campus. The Main Building has everything stuffed into it and doesn't feel like its worth the money you pay. Granted, the lecture theatres are modern and clean. However engineering students in particular may want to look elsewhere as you might be disappointed in what you find here. Even BCU across the green has a bunch of construction work going on as they continuously expand their campus, whilst Aston stays exactly the same.

Aston University is a great experience with a modern and fun campus in the centre of the city. The social spaces are everywhere and this results in ina bustling university with a fun atmosphere.

In light of the horrific incident in the US of the killing of an unarmed Black man by a white police officer, we here in the UK are beginning a discourse around racism. Racism is not limited to the US it happens in the UK but often it is far more subtle and less overt than in the US. I studied at Aston and during my time I was the victim of such subtle racist abuse on multiple occasion by white students and the white leadership. I would strongly urge anyone considering studying at Aston University to rethink this. If you like me are allocated into a group of white counterparts and are the only ethnic minority and they decide to deduct your contribution marks then there is nothing you can do. The lecturers and the leadership will take the side of the white students. Even if you show them that the claims against you are untrue. If you are an ethnic minority please consider another university, not a university that turns a blind eye to racism.

I am currently halfway through my first year studying computer science and I have to say I have a mixed view of Aston University. the campus is small but really comes alive when it' warm with its green areas and wildlife and there's a lot of people outside and places to sit with events happening all the time. The main downside with the campus is the main building which is where 90% of your lectures and tutorials will take place.Its really outdated and miserable from the outside and puts you in a depressing mood. the interior of the main building is up to standard but nothing spectacular you get plenty of opportunities for careers but this does not mean they will land in your lap you do actually have to keep your eyes open and follow up on the opportunities that they offer through email The teaching is a joke sometimes a lot of lecturers don't communicate well with students.they also don't explain half the stuff they go through and for me, they go through material painfully slow.

I attended Aston for 9 months and it had been a bad experience. It was a big mistake to choose this uni as I believed the TEF gold ranking was really good to study Mech Eng, not to mention it almost killed my future after doing the 1st year. The support I got was dreadful and a lot of the EAS staff didn't take consideration for the fact that everyone came from different educational backgrounds. Also the support I got from other students on the course was terrible. Aston was a depressing place to be in as a student and so was B'ham. It was so boring as I hardly knew anyone and I was mainly alone in the halls. 2 flatmates were hardly around!! Unite Students Aston was an absolute joke!! The social life was bad as well. If you want a uni with good social life and support (teaching, peer support etc.), you're better off going somewhere else rather than Aston. The uni only cares about money and business. They do not understand that this is a burden on students (and parents)!

Oh boy, if you are thinking of coming to Aston for engineering, DON'T. This uni has many problems it hides under the rug. The staff here are unhelpful and make the subject uninteresting. The facilities are excellent for a college but a joke for a University. The main problem with the engineering course is 50% of your mark during your degree will be based on group work, this is a big issue with the course, if your given a poor group that lack drive your chances of getting a first are out of the window. This university does not offer any engineering clubs where people can do extra-circular activities surrounding there course. For example an electronics club which is present many other unis. This university only wants money, than nurture engineers of the future and that exactly why their course is group project dominated as it's cheap to buy materials than it to have a more advanced group projects or lecturers. Please reconsider your options if your going here for engineering.

I studied in the Business and Languages schools 2013-2017 and did a placement abroad at a bank. Aston's first priority is employability which and the main way they do this is by offering the most employable degree subjects i.e. no TV and Drama studies. I worked part time at the career service and they go above and beyond to match students with placements and grad roles and they often have exclusive links with grad employers who actively look for Aston grads. Teaching wise there are some inspirational lecturers and teaching fellows who really know their stuff, plenty of guest speakers and some newer average tutors who read from slides (like most unis).I found no shortage of help during office hours etc. The teaching I would rate 5 star. Main building is ugly but campus is good. Uni sports are inclusive but of low standard. Lots of green environmental projects going on. City centre location comes with all the pros and cons expected.

As a student of Aston my uni experience has not been the best as time has gone on. Particularly when it came to finding a placement. Upon joining the university I was told that the uni has strong links with businesses all across the world, an excellent careers team that would help find suitable job roles for student and that the uni had a strong reputation. This proved to be wrong as it was an extremely difficult task to find one in the end. The uni facilities are outdated in this modern day and age. They have sold off their accommodation so students from other local unis reside in the on-campus accoms. The teaching particularly Marketing is outdated and poorly taught.

It's a small university so for what it is, it has enough. The students union isn't very good or a good night out but the new SU should be better!

Wifi coverage could be better and services from the SU could be better, this will probably impove the new SU building.

The university is very supporting of the students and will always help. There are a wide range of facilities for subjects which can be found on campus but many sources online. Lectures are recorded also making it easy to go back over for revision or seminars which is really helpful for your understanding. Aston also offers placement years which I would say it essential to being employable once your degree is over and gives you the experience to stand out from the crowd. Within the university there are always events on to social and also specifically for your chosen subject. This is good as it gives insight to the reality of the subject you are studying. I have had a very positive experience at Aston so far.

Friendly environment, been happy ever since I joined and couldn’t ask for a better uni experience! I love being in the centre of the city so everything is in arms reach, and though the SU isn’t good now the new one will be finished in the spring :)

Really enjoyable university, very nice family feel to the whole university because it is small, campus is compact but has everything you need (means you can get to lectures in 5 mins), most lecturers engaging and good

All the facilities needed and want, clubs and societies are amazing. Never had an issue with internet anywhere on campus. And placement/careers help is readily available. SU is out dated but a new one is being finished for next year and it looks better

Societies and clubs are all excellent. A new Students union is being built but the current one is way too small. Teaching quality is above average and mentors available are very good.

My experience has been amazing the staff are caring, the facilities Are wonderful. It’s just a short walk from the City Center which is amazing. There’s even a Tesco’s on site and a Costa. The standard of education is soo High. As with all unis there are is the odd few let’s say annoying lecturer but the amazing ones out way this for sure.

Ones experience of Aston university could range dramatically depending on a few factors. However there are some constants. The organisation is dreadful, funding for final year projects is minute and first class grades are handed out to anyone with a pulse. Would not recommend.

The campus is really beautiful for being in the middle of the city, and close to the city centre for shopping. The accommodation company (Unite Students) is a nightmare though, and I would recommend finding somewhere else to stay if you attend.
