In the heart of Birmingham city, you’ll find Aston University’s single-site campus. As well as all the facilities and resources you could ever need, it's filled with pockets of greenery and spaces to sit and relax in the open air, including the Chancellor’s lake and its geese.

We provide our students with some of the best learning and research environments in the world. From modern lecture theatres and clinics for students to practice in – such as the Aston Brain Centre and Aston Eye Clinic – to a range of specialist laboratories, including our £3.9million virtual reality facility.

A place to meet

Your Students’ Union building is located on campus, just a short walk from Main Building. As well as cafés, bars and shops, the building acts as a focal point for clubs, societies, events and support services. Visit the SU website to find out more.

A place to study

Our library is a beautiful place to study. Its iconic glass façade lets in plenty of natural light, and you can choose between private study areas or flexible meeting pods, which are perfect for group work. The library is open 24/7 during term time, providing flexibility for our early birds and night owls.

A place to hang out

Nourish at Aston provides catering for our onsite cafes and restaurants. They use only the freshest ingredients to provide a range of menu choices including gluten-free, Halal, vegetarian and vegan. If you fancy a social drink with friends, we have two pubs on site – The Gosta Green and Sacks of Potatoes – as well as our brand new bar and restaurant, the Lounge, which can be found in the Students’ Union building. Nourish has also recently launched a range of food delivery packages for students in campus accommodation.
