    Aston Uni

    Not only is the University one of the best in the UK, it's also a great place, which is very welcoming. The students are from various corners of the world and the diverse student population, and the close-by theatres speak volume about the culture of Aston University.

    The best part is how the Uni is in the heart of Birmingham city centre. Allowing easy access to a host of shopping and entertainment outlets, whilst also providing access to rails and buses.

    Small, friendly uni in middle of Birmingham
    Current
    Aston is right in the centre of Birmingham, about 5-10 minutes walk from the city centre. I went there because I didn’t want to be stuck on a campus miles from the centre of town, but I didn’t want to be at a uni with buildings spread all over a city either. At Aston you get the best of both worlds really – a nice campus, close to town.

    Aston has a pretty impressive graduate recruitment record – another of the reasons I applied there. It has a bit more of a down to earth attitude than other traditional unis. The courses are quite “real world” and I learnt things I’ve actually used in my job! Most students do a placement year.

    Its quite a small uni, (about 6 or 7 thousand students) which people may or may not like. I liked it cos it felt quite friendly. I didn’t want to feel lost amongst 20 thousand odd students!
