Aston University
Ranking Highlights

Recognized globally as a leading global enterprise, Aston University is dedicated to delivering academic excellence. The Aston University has recieved an B++ rating by Shiksha Grading.

With this method, courses are graded on the basis of their availability at the college in a particular country and universities are graded by the countries.

Moving forward, according to 'University Ranking' category of QS 2025, Aston University ranks #423, showing an improvement from its previous ranking of #446 in 2024. Aston University also ranks #401 in THE 'University Ranking' category 2024. As compared to the last year, Aston University witnessed a stable trend in its THE (Times Higher Education) ranking which stood at #401 in 2023.

MSc International Business - Batch of 2024

3.6

Persistence is the key to success.

Tips: I had a lot of cultural shifts during my time at Aston University. It was my first time away from my family, and it was quite scary. After a lot of struggle in the first few days, I managed to get along with the people, academics, and community. I found it amazing at times when I was involved in activities or events. The networking part is very important, and I would recommend networking as much as possible. Overall, if you are applying for any Masters degree in the UK, expect a lot of ups and downs during the course.

MSc Business Analytics - Batch of 2023

2.8

Totally a new kind of experience.

Tips: I didn't get scholarship, and the transition was difficult at the start but making more and more friends helped me through the college experience, and assignments as well. It is a good course, but I didn't learn any practical skill required for the jobs.

Likes (Student Life): Food options are good, and library and study area are also nice. There is a good option to network with friends. Clubs are there in the university and around the university. We can have a good time with our friends and, also events are always going on at the Aston portals.

Dislikes (Internships): No Internship opportunities are there. Overall, the university has a placement department which helps with resume writing, but they don't help us to get job or internship. We have to do research and apply on our own to get an internship, which is very difficult nowadays.

MSc in Supply Chain Management - Batch of 2024

Good university with a diverse environment.

Tips: University is quite diversified and have lots of students from India and all over the world. Their are many scholarships which are offered by the university. University is located at city centre so everything is nearby. Overall, my personal experience was good.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The staff is really great and helpful. All professors have enough experience and prefer a practical approach while teaching. You can book appointments with all your professors and can talk with them anytime during working hours. I have seen quite a diversity in the faculty members.

Dislikes (Internships): My course comes under engineering college, so we were not allowed for internship. In business school internship is part of their term time which is not the case for courses in engineering college. You get enough time for the third term and work on your dissertation so that you can collaborate with any company.

The college is very good in aspects of facilities.

Tips: I am quite happy with the way things are now at Aston University. There are so many people from my country that I don't feel much of a cultural shift. I also got a scholarship of 6000 Pounds from Aston, which is far better than any other Russell Group university. If you are interested in studying here, please inquire about the modules you plan to study.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are very knowledgeable and helpful. They provide various opportunities for students and also help students with various aspects of mentoring during the course. The modules are thought out very well, and the faculty are always ready to help, even during non-working hours. Resources are shared on time, and the faculty are always available to answer questions.

Dislikes (Internships): I am yet to discover internships here. I belong to the September 2024 batch and am currently pursuing an MS in business and management. The college is very good, and everything is easily accessible and modernized. I hope internships will be easy to find, but I have heard from seniors and fellow students that finding a paid internship is quite difficult.

Slow but a steady growth towards your success.

Tips: Before joining the university you should carefully review the course you want to join and achieve a career in it and also how many accreditations it has. What are the chances of jobs after completing your degree. And if you start the process of application well in advance you can get scholarships worth 1000-3000.

Likes (Indian Food): I have a lot of Indian restaurant options and different cuisines are also available, for instance, north Indian, Indo-Chinese, South Indian, Chat etc. So food is not gonna be a problem. But eating out regularly can be expensive. So I would suggest getting the groceries and cooking at home and all Indian groceries can be purchased from Indian shops nearby.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Nowadays, it is very hard to get a job in the field which you have studied. Then the most common problem is your visa status. That's one of the major reasons for rejection of the job. An ATS-friendly resume and Cover letter is another task that needs to be 100% accurate before you apply for the jobs and your resume needs to be tailored before applying for each job. So this all makes getting a job a little difficult. Though the university provides a website where they regularly post graduate role jobs.

Decent mid-ranked university with a multi-liberal crowd. A good option to study in the UK.

Tips: Before joining the university students should know about the culture and diversity here. I was offered a scholarship of 1500 GBP which was deducted from my tuition fees. You won't face any discrimination or feel any cultural shift but will start feeling self-confident and individual worth. There are many clubs here which you can join and especially football is a very big craze as Aston Villa has a huge fan following from our university.
