The Official Ask Aston Thread

Hi, i have a conditional offer for IBML french and spanish for BBB (as I confirmed Aston as my firm choice). I applied last year and didn't get a place so I am resitting everything, but I'm worried the grades still won't be good enough. How popular is this course/ how likely is it that there will be leniency in the grades? Thanks

Hi,

Our business school courses are some of the most popular, however it looks that like last year all of our courses will enter clearing and there will be some leniency in entry requirements. The level of leniency however will depend on a number of factors that we can't predict.

Great work on going back to take your A Levels again, i did the same thing too before coming to Aston and it takes a lot of character and determination.

Good luck in your exams

Hi i firmed aston for electronic and electrical engineering and got offer BBB but i think i may end up with BCC. Do you think they'll be lenient and give me and unconditional offer ?

Hello, So i recently completed my extended national diploma, and received my certificates yesterday, to D*D*D*, what would you suggest as the next step that I should take? Should I contact the uni myself informing them of this or would it be better to leave it until the start date?

Hi Laurence,

Did you apply to us via UCAS? If so our admissions teams should have recieved your grades already.

ah i see, yes i did

Hello, I just wanted to find out a few thing about your placement year for the Psychology and Business course. How do you place your students for the optional placement year? Are they usually paid during this period of time in their various work places?

Hi,

As with all our courses, the placement year is something our students seek out, rather than us directly placing them into one. They benefit from our Careers + Placements team and years of employer partnerships.

Most placement years are paid if you follow the business side of your degree, however psychology placements tend to work on a more voluntary basis.

Hope that helps

I'm in the second year on a course with a compulsory placement. I passed this year with good results but despite having applied for over 100 placement roles i've only had 3 phone interviews and nothing else in terms of getting a placement. What exactly happens if I don't get a placement? Do i just have to leave? Do i have to take a year out and apply for them again?

Hi how low did aston drop their grades for clearing last year for economics and management? I have an offer for BBB but I'm really worried that I won't meet this I feel like I may achieve BDD

Hi, 1) What was logistics with supply chain management clearing at last year and where can I get some pre-reading materials on the course ?2) What's the reason for Aston's huge drop on all the league tables this year ?

Hi, do aston allow us to use voice recorders for lectures? Do you recommend purchasing one? Or does the Uni already have something like this in place so i dont have? (eg recording lectures themselves)
