Personally
I really enjoyed my life at Aston University (I divided three main factors)
Location
As a second
largest city in the U.K, Birmingham is a great place to live as an
international student. From Aston University, you could easily go (it’s walking
distance! Less than 15 mins)
Shopping centre, Cinema, Open markets, restaurants and attractions. More
importantly, living costs are much cheaper than London. According to UKBA Agency, they stated
minimum of 800 pounds per month for living expense (based in London 1000
pounds). The amount could vary depending upon individual lifestyle but you
could certainly save your huge amount of money by benefiting of advantages of
Urban Settlement.
Excellence
of faculty
One of the
most important factors could be academic excellence of faculty regardless of
undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Aston University provides quite
practical taught courses and subjects for students. When I attended first term
modules, I was quite surprised that Aston recruits many practitioners as
faculty to deliver up-to-date knowledge. Although some tutors don’t have PhD,
they give latest industry insights.
Opportunities
for scholarship and career
Aston
provides variety of scholarship schemes for prospective students. http://www.aston.ac.uk/international-students/finance/internal-scholarships/
Also, I
have experienced excellent supports from career advisors. Students can get detailed advice regarding job-seeking on a one to
one basis. Furthermore, Postgraduate Career Advisor hold career session ever
weekday afternoon at 2nd floor. So students get quick questions
about their queries without appointment. Additionally, Career service at Aston
provides latest job market information and a variety of job fairs
