A fun and informative experience with great faculty.

Tips: Students must find accommodation in the city centre. The staff are really helpful. I got an early acceptance scholarship. The curriculum is really different, in a good way, so one can easily balance their work and study. Overall, I am really satisfied with the course. university and the campus.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is nice and helpful. They are informative and responsive. They really interact a lot with the students and help them in any way possible. Our course especially had some practical exercises which helped us to understand the industry better.

Dislikes (Safety): I feel very safe on campus because of the security apps that are used. The people are friendly and helpful, and the city is vibrant. I've had good experiences so far, and I've met a lot of people from different cultures and had the pleasure of interacting with them.

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.

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.

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.

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.
