We understand that choosing the right university and study programme is very important to both your and your son or daughter. As parents of international students, your support in this decision-making process is essential.
Like most parents, you may have doubts about your child studying overseas. However, it is important to remember that your son or daughter will have many opportunities open to them, which they may not have at home. They will learn a different culture, improve their language skills, discover different perspectives and new ideas about the world and improve their career prospects having gained global experience.
International students who have studied in the UK often report that they have increased their confidence, independence, intellectual maturity and appreciation for their own culture.
With students from over 80 countries, Aston University is a popular choice for international students. We recognise and welcome the academic contribution and cultural diversity your son or daughter will bring to our university environment.
At Aston, we take the needs of our international students very seriously and with a strong network of welfare and support. We continually strive to provide our students with a dynamic and stimulating teaching and learning environment, enabling them to develop skills and knowledge to facilitate their professional careers.
Staying in touch with your son or daughter is easier and more affordable than ever- with text messages, email, the telephone and postal mail. Before you child leaves, make sure you have their contact details and email address. You may wish to purchase an international calling card for discounted telephone calls and if you don’t yet have one, go online and set up a free email account.
