We can equip you for Success in the Global Market Place

At Aston, we recognise that graduates are a key part of a more dynamic and mobile global marketplace. Our students have the chance to gain the skills and confidence to be successful global citizens, and we can offer access to exciting work and study opportunities through our extensive network of world-wide partnerships with employers and Universities.

We encourage enterprise and entrepreneurship

There is a good reason why Aston is in the top ten Universities for producing millionaires – we educated 2.3% of UK millionaires based on recent research carried out by CoreData Research UK on behalf of Skandia; we encourage our students to develop an enterprising mind-set and support those who want to build their own business. We run innovation competitions offering financial incentives, we offer specialist advice and mentoring schemes and work with partners to fund start-ups and provide incubator space to encourage and enable enterprise and entrepreneurship
