Student Recruitment and Outreach

Student Recruitment & Outreach (SRO) supports potential applicants of all backgrounds to consider Aston’s degree courses whilst striving to raise higher education aspirations amongst the least advantaged groups of school-age learners. SRO’s activities contribute significantly to the University’s challenging Access Agreement targets and thus are vital to the institution’s strategic objectives.

  • Provide impartial and honest information, advice and guidance to young people
  • Initially preference support to those most in need, or to groups demonstrating greatest disadvantage
  • Deliver outreach in as fair a manner as possible
  • Support any reasonable request contributing to our Access Agreement commitments, within the bounds of our resources
  • Provide Aston University students with opportunities to act as positive role models to young people and prospective students
