Hi Ryo!

First of all I’m so glad you are considering studying at Aston!

The entry requirements for this course are as follows:

One of the following:

A good UK honours degree (minimum lower second class)
Equivalent overseas degree recognised by Aston University
As well as:

Two professional references – at least one must be from an academic referee
An official academic transcript of your university grades to date
A completed application form.

In terms of what the course demands you will be working in a variety of different ways, including exams, coursework and presentations. There’s also group work, an important aspect of postgraduate study requiring you to collaborate with team members and develop teamwork skills highly regarded by employers.

I hope this answers your questions but please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any other questions!

I have dropped a link below for you to see more about this course too!

Hi there,

Hi there!

The one on campus (unite students) is currently open for 2020-2021.

The dates to apply are widely varied due to covid and people deferring their start dates.

I have posted a link below for the accommodation on campus so you can find more information relevant to you!

Hi all!

A bit about myself: I have lived in Birmingham my whole life and I will be graduating from Aston University in a few months time.

Are there any questions you have regarding your courses? student life? Birmingham? or the student union?

I will be more than happy to answer them for you.

Which accommodations are the best price wise and living wise? I dont want to be somewhere where everyone is always partying but I also want to make friends from accoms. Which are your top 3 private accoms and which uni halls on campus would you say are better? x

Hi there,

The best accommodation for you would depend on what balance you're looking for between price and other factors. My perception of which accommodations are better would be different from yours as I personally prefer studio apartments to shared flats. Every accommodation has its pros and cons depending on what you're looking for so here are a few links to help search for uni accommodations and filter the results according to your preference:

https://www.accommodationforstudents.com/birmingham

https://www.student.com/en-gb/

https://www.mystudenthalls.com/student-accommodation/birmingham/

In my experience flat parties aren't really a problem if you have good communication with your flatmates, and currently, accommodations have placed regulations on visitors so I wouldn't worry too much about that. A lot of accommodations host events, mostly virtual at the moment, to help people connect and foster friendships.

Hope this has helped

Hi I’ve got a conditional offer for medicine at Aston for 3As. Say I get 3 A*s will Aston consider doing full scholarships? (For the five years) please don’t send me a link to the website as I’ve already checked it and couldn’t find anything for medicine full scholarships. Oh yh and I’m a uk student.

Hi there!

Congratulations on your offer!

I’ve had a look for you and it appears the only full scholarship available is for masters students at the moment!

Looking at your predicted grades you would be eligible for the Aston achievement scholarship which would give you £500 in your first year of university.

I hope this information has helped but if you have anymore questions do let me know!

Hi Jenny!

Aston has a really diverse student population and while we have cultural societies where people can come together and celebrate their culture I wouldn’t say Aston is particularly cliquey at all!

In my experience I have met and made friends from all different backgrounds and ethnicities and never found anyone to be cliquey or exclusionary.

If you have anymore concerns or questions let me know and I’d be happy to answer!
