Hey guys, ive finushed applying for student finance and my payment schedule is on my account however i have realised that the maintainance loan of £3731 doesnt cover the cost of the accommodation let alone other living expenses. Is this the case with everyone or just me. Also i dont know how much grant i shall receive as i had to send that section off a little while after the main part so im not sure if the grant will cover the remaining cost of the accommodation

Many students do indeed not gain enough support from student finance to cover their accommodation, i would check on your application to see if you have indeed applied for all the funding you can receive. Additionally the grant you have applied for should help towards your accommodation fees. Grants can sometimes be thousands of pounds, so i would check the exact figure on that.

I would also consider looking to see if you are eligible for one of our scholarships. Many students also take up part time work when they arrive, the jobshop in the student union should be able to help you find something. :smile:

Hello, can someone tell me if accountancy for management is a highly popular course in Aston? I've applied for that course but have a feeling i'm going to miss it by one grade but even if i do, my three grades still meet the 340 required ucas points, are the accounts admissions flexible?
Also has that course ever been in clearing? Thanks

Accountancy and Management falls under our business school so it will be reasonably popular, however when it comes to being offered a place there are too many variables in place to give a clear answer: Number of applicants, members of staff teaching modules related to that course, course funding, facilities and timetabling issues and so on.

Unfortunately all bets are off unless you've been handed an unconditional offer, but don't worry too much and good luck with those exams. :smile:

Okay Thanks for the reply! But has the course been in clearing in previous years before like last year? If so did Aston drop grade requirements for it?

It means our course doesn't grant you entry to the British Pharamacological Society, most likely due to the fact that it is a single year masters course and that all the requirements for accreditation can't be met over the course of a one year course opposed to a three year course. However don't fret our MSc course will still be recognized as a valid qualification and will be a worthwhile venture.

Hi there,

It's very rare for our Biological Chemistry course to be oversubscribed and usually will go into clearing, this is subject to change every single year though depending on a number of variables, but competition won't be as high as a place for something like Optometry.

Hi there,

All of our Business courses are popular, but not to the point of over subscription, the public policy element of this course will mean there is less competition and it may go into clearing depending on a number of variables. Good luck.
