University of the Year Scholarship

Aston University has been named University of the Year 2020 by the Guardian, and to celebrate this prestigious accolade, we are offering a scholarship to international students. You can learn more about why we are the University of the Year here.

At Aston, our focus on careers and employability makes us different from other universities. In fact, our Careers & Placements team is recognised as the Best University Careers/Employability Service (National Undergraduate Employability (NUE) Awards 2020), and Aston's graduates are amongst the highest-paid five years after graduation (LEO, 2020).
