Improving access to higher education
We are determined to support all potential students fulfil their ambitions and prepare for their future.
Our Access and Participation Plan
Aston University has demonstrated a long standing sustained commitment to access, success and employability for its students. Since our founding as an institution in 1895, we have continued to challenge ourselves to provide initiatives which address gaps at access, support student success and enhance graduate outcomes.
We are a positive exemplar for widening access, retention and employability. We believe that we truly transform lives. Aston University’s 2030 Strategy is structured around our key beneficiaries which include our students, businesses and organisations, and the wider Birmingham and West Midlands region.
The University is also focused on continuous improvement; where we have identified gaps in achievement we are determined to ensure that Aston provides all students with the support to benefit from an education at our institution.
