MBA online application guidance notes

Once you have decided on the MBA that you wish to apply for, follow the relevant link from the MBA website and create a new account in the system. You will be automatically logged in after this and be able to start your application immediately.
You can elect to ‘Save and Return Later’ at any point of the process, at which point you will be emailed details on how to return to your application later.

The Aston MBA requires you to pay a non-refundable application fee of £50 so that your application can be processed. You will be asked to pay this fee using a secure online payment system after completing your application form. Please note that for this programme, no application will be processed until the appropriate fee has been paid.

Once you have completed your application you will be automatically logged out from the system and emailed with confirmation that your application has been received. We will also email you a copy of your completed application form.

After this point, admissions staff at Aston will communicate with you via the email address you have provided regarding the outcome of your application and you will not need to log into the Online Application form again.

If you have any more questions about the application process or the information you will need to provide the University, please visit the How to Apply page on the Aston MBA website.

If you are unable to create a new account, please ensure that you are using a supported web browser (listed below) and that you are completing all of the required fields on the new account page.

You are unable to create an account twice with the same email address. If you need to apply for a second Degree Programme at Aston, you can use your existing account details to log in.

If (after verifying that you are using a supported web browser and that you do not already have an account in the system) you are still unable to create an account please contact our technical support staff at isa_helpdesk@aston.ac.uk.

Normally, you will receive an email once you choose to ‘save and return Later’ to your current application or when you complete an application form. You may not receive these emails if:

• Your email software or provider has marked the emails as Junk or Spam. Please check your Junk / Spam folder to see if any emails have been directed there.  Additionally, please ensure that you add ‘aston.ac.uk’ to your email account safe list so that any further emails sent to you by the Admissions team are received quickly and safely.
• You may also have entered your email address incorrectly when creating your account. If this is the case, please contact our technical support staff at isa_helpdesk@aston.ac.uk with your name, date of birth and email address.
