Student Recruitment and Outreach (SRO)

Our team works with students in Years 7-13 to support their learning and provide key skills for the future. We also work with teachers, parents and guardians to support their student or child to find the right route for them.

The outreach team target schools, colleges and sixth-form learners from under-represented groups across the region in order to help widen access to higher education. The recruitment team work with partners nationally to give students the best information, advice and guidance about what Aston can offer them.

COVID-19 update: Still open for business

Due to COVID-19, we are unable to run our usual activities on campus and within schools. However, we have created exciting digital alternatives that can be shared with students online. Please see our activities for more information.

Activities

Find out more about our pre-16 activities

Our pre-16 programme helps students in Years 7-11 to think about university and understand how GCSE choices can help them, what skills will help them in their education and future employment, and consider alternatives to university such as apprenticeships.

Find out more about our post-16 activities

We help students in Years 12-13 and level 3 to raise their aspirations and think big. We provide them with knowledge and tools to progress to university, choose a particular subject, and thrive during their university years.

Find out more about events for teachers, parents and guardians

We welcome group visits to Aston University from teachers or careers advisers so they can view our campus and meet staff and students. We also organise events for parents and guardians to make sure they have accurate information when helping their child through the university application process.
