Excellent, well-maintained facilities with an effective, focused approach to employability. Contact hours for some courses, particularly Psychology, could be improved however.

I love it here. It's small but, it's nice to be a to walk around and recognise people. Hopefully the union will also improve with its new building.

I liked the size of the campus and student population. There were c.13,000 students when I did my Masters in 99/00. There was a real community feel. The uni is within walking distance to the city centre giving choice to stay on campus for the usual student partying or going into town. There are lots of sports to get involved in - I joined the hockey team. There are lots of clubs/societies to take advantage of to have fun and meet people.

Don't let how small the university is put you off. It's a great community, almost like a large family. Everything to close so you don't have to walk far, and overall it is a very modern and environmentally friendly campus! The placement years offered here are fantastic and really set you up perfect for a good paying graduate job!

Being such a small university means we have become a tight-knit community at Aston, but by no means do we do things on a small scale. The opportunities available, both academic and social, are plentiful and there is something for everyone.

If you want to have a great time at Aston you can, all you need to do is open yourself up to opportunities rather than hide yourself away and not try anything out. The employability rate is great, everyone is friendly and helpful and the campus is so green and nice. Within the business school the lectures can be too large and impersonal but the VLE is very helpful.
