Happy, peaceful and interactive.

Tips: I had a lot of opportunities to work with people from different courses at Aston University. They provide scholarships, and I got about 4,500 for having over 85% in my undergraduate degree. I am very satisfied with my overall experience at the university. It has been a great educational experience. I also appreciate that the courses are offered in the country where the university is located.

Dislikes (Part time work): Getting a part-time job is becoming very difficult due to the increase in students coming abroad. If you get your assignments done on time or before, a part-time job is manageable. However, the payout is currently at the minimum of 12.21, which is the minimum basic pay per the government.

Persistence is the key to success.

Tips: I had a lot of cultural shifts during my time at Aston University. It was my first time away from my family, and it was quite scary. After a lot of struggle in the first few days, I managed to get along with the people, academics, and community. I found it amazing at times when I was involved in activities or events. The networking part is very important, and I would recommend networking as much as possible. Overall, if you are applying for any Masters degree in the UK, expect a lot of ups and downs during the course.

The college is very good in aspects of facilities.

Tips: I am quite happy with the way things are now at Aston University. There are so many people from my country that I don't feel much of a cultural shift. I also got a scholarship of 6000 Pounds from Aston, which is far better than any other Russell Group university. If you are interested in studying here, please inquire about the modules you plan to study.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are very knowledgeable and helpful. They provide various opportunities for students and also help students with various aspects of mentoring during the course. The modules are thought out very well, and the faculty are always ready to help, even during non-working hours. Resources are shared on time, and the faculty are always available to answer questions.

Dislikes (Internships): I am yet to discover internships here. I belong to the September 2024 batch and am currently pursuing an MS in business and management. The college is very good, and everything is easily accessible and modernized. I hope internships will be easy to find, but I have heard from seniors and fellow students that finding a paid internship is quite difficult.

Decent university which includes everything but balanced.

Tips: You have to match up the pace of the university because everyone will be running. You should have a brief knowledge of your course so that you will not face any difficulties while doing assignments. I didn't get any scholarship but they do offer one. I am very much okay with my college.

Likes (Student Life): Quality of life will be good being more productive. Going to libraries, with different people. Doing many things at a time makes us more productive. Apart from studies you will have a chance to participate in various events such as student leadership roles and sports etc.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Currently, employers are not offering sponsorship for long-term visas as they feel supply chain positions can be easily replaced by someone unless the individual is well-experienced, But that differs to other streams. But in the supply chain, we do have jobs and we just need them in the right way.

Underwhelming college experience

Tips: There was definitely a transition after coming here. There was not much of any cultural shift I experienced but there was definitely a change in my lifestyle and personal growth which inclined towards self-development. I did not avail of any scholarships and the university doesn’t provide too many scholarships and getting one is rare. I am satisfied with the university but not the course. The course needs much learning outside the curriculum. You need to learn different tools and techniques which are not included in the course for better learning opportunities.

Likes (Public transportation): The campus is situated in the center of the city and is easy to commute. There are buses running all day with very high frequency. The transportation is pretty affordable when compared to other cities. The university provides a concession amount for the people who travel to the university. So transportation should not be an issue.

Dislikes (Value for money): The rating of 2 for the tution fee is supported by a lack of robust experiences and extracurricular activities, the perception of average instructors and insufficient university support in placements which collectively contribute to a less satisfying educational experience.
