Inclusive
Support to help you thrive
"When I got diagnosed with a disability, I was struggling to accept it and I didn't know what to do. I ended up speaking to one of my lecturers... I had a chat with him and he really highly recommended that I went to Student Support. The amount of adjustments that they made for me was great, they really understood and they put their hand out to me."
Balraj Purewal, Business and Management BSc
Transformational
Building your skills for the future
"I learnt a variety of skills at Aston that really helped develop the career I have today. Along with academic skills, I was able to specialise in a variety of topics and also build a rapport with my lecturers. I understood what skills I needed to demonstrate in order to achieve those high grades which helped me build my passion in what mattered to me."
L'maya Sherae, Founder and Director, Enact Equality
Entrepreneurial
Your lifelong advantage and network
"Being part of the Aston University alumni network is hugely beneficial for all Aston students. I wanted to be in a space where I could interact with people from all over the world and build those relationships to be the foundation of learning for building a globally scalable business. There are a lot of start up founders in the Aston ecosystem so building those connections has been so important as well as making strong friendships."
