Aston University’s excellent location within Birmingham City centre offers you all the advantages of living in England’s vibrant and multicultural second city. Birmingham is already home to over 65,000 students and is widely recognised as the place to come and study.
Birmingham is flourishing and is internationally recognised as a leader in leisure, entertainment, business, shopping, industry and sport. The city centre is a fusion of attractive squares, modern shopping arcades, diverse pubs, clubs and restaurants and fine museums, theatres and art galleries – truly an International City.
Everything is easy to access in Birmingham with an International airport approximately 40 minutes away and London just 2 hours drive. Getting around Birmingham once you’re here is simple, with cheap and efficient bus, train, tram and taxi services. Walking is just as easy, as the city centre is now almost totally pedestrianised and is a safe and welcoming place.
Birmingham is a shopper’s delight. With a mix of a revitalized centre, modern malls, vibrant markets and hand made craft centres selling everything from clothes to culinary experiences from across the globe.
Arts and culture are at the very heart of Birmingham and the City’s galleries offer everything from the eclectic to the modern, traditional and historic. Venues for live performances and live music range from the well known NIA to Symphony Hall, home to the CBSO and regarded as the finest concert hall in Europe.
