Choosing to study overseas is one of the most important decisions you will ever make and it is vital that you choose the right course and the university for you. It can be very confusing for an international student in making that decision as you may know very little about the UK education system, the city of Birmingham and about Aston University itself. You will need to look not only at the quality and structure of the programmes on offer and the academic support provided, but also the many aspects of student life, such as accommodation and social facilities.
