The Official Ask Aston Thread

Has anyone applied/ received an offer for the International Business and Economics course?

I got one for International Business and Management

Nice! I have offers from 4 of my chosen unis Do you have any others?

I also have 4 offers ^^ from Aston, Sheffield Hallam, Kent and Uni of Birmingham, still waiting for one from Coventry I am totally firming Aston, what about you ? ^__^

I have offers from Manchester, Loughborough, Leicester, just waiting for Uni of Birmingham. I am stuck between Manchester and Aston for my firm!
Have you applied for Business and Management for all those unis?

Well in Aston as I said it's International Business and Management
-University of Birmingham is Business Management
-Univeristy of Kent - International Business
-Sheffield Hallam - Business and Financial Management

I would choose Aston because of the work placement .. as far as I know it really opens doors ^^

I know Aston offers a work placement, but so does Manchester, and the course I chose at Manchester (International Business, Finance and Economics) just looks really interesting. However, I haven't been to Manchester yet, so I should go look round when they invite me for a visit day.

Sorry, my bad I didn't know Manchester also offer a placement well in this case no matter which you choose you won't regret it I am sure I haven't been to Birmingham but I am just inlove with the city and I really set my heart on Aston ^^ good luck with the offer though where are you from btw ?

Yes I have heard it ^^ I am from Bulgaria

I am originally from Bulgaria and I am currently living there but as far as my country is in the EU I am not being concidered as an international student not sure if I said it clear enough

That made perfect sense, don't worry What's it like in Bulgaria?

Well right now it's cold I would say generally it's nice people are quite hospitable however the education is not as good as the one in England that's why I chose to study in your country

I have been in the UK twice already but just for holidays and the weather doesnt really bother me I believe I will get used to it ^^ And as sad as it may sound I don't have plans for going back in Bulgaria .. to live permanently I mean Having said that you moved there I assume you are not originally from England then

This is a bit of a weird one, but here goes I have African parents, Ghanaian to be exact, but I was born in Holland and lived there until 2005, then I moved to England. What do you want to do in the future, in terms of career or further education?

Hey guys and gals, the purpose of this thread is obviously if you wish to ask the university any questions in particular, I myself have just graduated with my combined honours degree in Psychology and Sociology and have been employed by the university itself to work in the social media department. Thus I should be able to give you insight on a number of things such as courses, accommodation, student life, night-life, societies and any general pointers for those of you whom are about to become Aston students for the next four years.

FYI - If you have questions about accommodation you should forward an email to [email protected]

Don't be shy.
