IBML with French and German

Being just a stone’s throw away from the city centre gives you so many options. Birmingham feels every bit the modern city and Aston is very much a part of that.

English Language

Classes are small, so you really get to know your course mates and tutors on a personal level. There is loads of support for students in general, whether it is careers advice, help with placements or volunteering opportunities.

Charles Donnell

English Language and Psychology

My long term goal upon graduation from Aston is still undecided. I have many options available to me from completing my placement year and studying at a University that is so highly recognised so I am considering joining a large organisation like IBM working in Consulting or Marketing.

International Relations, French and Spanish

Campus life in first year is amazing, it’s such a small community and everyone is so friendly, you can’t walk across campus without bumping into someone you know - all your friends live on your doorstep a maximum of 5 minutes walk away which means you make friends really quickly.
