Unsure about what to do

A Levels:

Business
Media
ICT
Law

p.s. I hate maths /numbers

I was really nervous about going at the point of crying before I moved in and after an hour I had made friends with everyone on my floor. it really is a fantastic place to study!

I studied business and management specialised in ICT.

I can literally walk to anything on campus in 5 minutes unlike people at say birmingham uni who have to get the bus or train to town and other areas. Aston is much better I have made so many friends from all over the world and the lecturers are awesome!

what have you applied for? are you moving into halls?

best advice: join societies in your first year - they look good on the cv and u make loads of friends

Aw I hope it'll be like that for me! I feel like once I have a group of friends it'll be ok...! Fingers crossed

Yeah I loved that about the campus it's so cosy and everything is sooo close!

I've applied for International Business with French, with Spanish as an extra language alongside. Providing I get the grades then I have a place for this year excited/nervous..

Yeah I've applied for the new building accomodation, it's more expensive but since I have to take out £9000 for tuition anyway I though I might as well pay the extra for a nice place

What year you in now?

ahh ok coool

I haven't lived in the new accommodation but I've heard its very nice

Im in / was in final year due to graduate next month .. in the same position as you need a 2:1 to ensure I have my job which is due to start in september

feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the business modules/student life

Hello,

I have just graduated from business and management at Aston, although I have A levels I only have C grades at GCSE for all subjects (including two attempts to get a C in maths). I haven't had a problem with getting a placement/grad role or getting high marks in modules.

There are maths/statistics modules in th first year .. but because the requirements are low for maths to enter they have a maths centre in the library which is drop in and the exams are open book... I took the past papers to the maths centre got help from them took the answers in the exam and came out with high firsts in the exams.

I would suggest apply with your BTEC you don't need to do AS maths there is extra maths lessons for people who don't score high in maths for the modules anyway - they are very supportive and better than any maths teacher I have encountered at school/college. I know people who have BTEC's who have grad roles/who have performed well on their degree. But even if you choose coursework modules you will still have to do exams, and providing you work hard and revise for them I don't see why you can't score high in them.
