The Official Ask Aston Thread

Hi my student finance (maintenance grant) says approved since the 15th and this means that SLC are waiting for the university to confirm my attendance. I'm just wondering why it's taking so long since it's been weeks since the enrolment. Thank you.

Hi,

If you have attended enrollment you should be registered. Unfortunately there is nothing i can do to help you. However i would go to the hub, they deal with issues like this all the time, they will be able to check with registry and see if the problem is our end or give you advice on chasing SLC.

Good luck!

Are there water fountains anywhere in the library/main building? I've been meaning to find one because I drink a lot of water.

I want to apply for Politics and Business and the entry requirements say ABB-BBB, I am currently targeted BBB will I get an offer from your university and for what grades?

Aston University is my first choice and I've heard that a small number of applicants are given unconditional offers.
I have applied to do Pharmacy and have AAA predicted grades (the entry requirement is ABB-AAB). I was wondering how many unconditional offers are usually given out in the Pharmacy Department or just generally in the whole university.
I really love Aston and an unconditional offer would be AMAZING!!!
Thankyou

Hi,

Unfortunately i can't give you as solid an answer as the actual admissions team for that course can: [email protected]

However on speculation, i can say you have a high likelihood of being made an offer, hitting the minimum requirements and applying to a course such as Politics and Business, which often goes into clearing, rather than being over subscribed.

thanks for the reply josh,what grade was it in clearing for last year?

Hi, do aston allow transfers for entry onto psychology year 2?? and do you know the requirements for transferring? (i have 320 ucas points)

why are applicants who are applying for medicine as well as optometry rejected for optometry at Aston university. optometry also links in with medicine!

Hi, I was just wondering whether there is any chance of me getting onto the accountancy course with a GCSE Maths grade C. Is it worth applying for Aston University? I was an EBACC student at GCSE level and I got 11 GCSEs including a B in English.

Hi everyone! First of all i am from Bulgaria and i am seriously considering applying to Aston University . The course that i want to study is International Business with Spanish. If there is someone here who is studying this course i would greatly appreciate it if he/she tells me details about the course (I mean those kind of details you can only know about if you are a currently studying the course). And i also want to ask anyone here who is studying in Aston, how much does accommodation, food and etc. cost. Also is it hard to work and study there and what kind of jobs can i find so i can work and study at the same time, how expensive is the public transport. What do people in Birmingham think about Bulgarians because most people in the UK don't like us . Basically i want to know every bit of information that i can get only if i am in the city myself. Thanks!

HI, the term dates for Aston don't show any half-term breaks. Do all three terms run straight through without a break? If there are breaks, where can I find the dates?

Thanks.
