About Aston University
Founded in 1895 as the College of Advanced Technology, Aston University received its University Charter in 1966.
Our mission is to be the UK’s leading University for students aspiring to succeed in business and the professions, where original research, enterprise and inspiring teaching deliver local and global impact.
World-class teaching We are known for our world-class teaching and the award of gold, the highest award in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), is testament to this. Our commitment to high quality teaching and academic excellence ensures we provide the highest standard of education to our students. Our established links with business, the public sector and the professions mean that our career-focused degree programmes are inspiring, challenging and equip our students with valuable work-related skills and experiences.
Employability Employability is embedded in everything we do and the majority of our graduates go on to a graduate level job within six months. We have strong relationships with national and international graduate employers, as well as smaller and local employers. These relationships are extremely important and make a real contribution to graduate employability.
Research Aston has an excellent reputation for research which shapes and improves lives. Our real-world research is impactful, collaborative, excellent and sustainable, making a substantial and beneficial difference to people, organisations and society.
Aston’s strategy Our strategy gives us the opportunity to communicate our ambition, objectives and priorities; state what is most important to us and identify our points of distinction. It is structured around the beneficiaries of Aston University, who are the parties external to the University.
Our beneficiaries are:
> students, who progress to be our graduates and alumni
> external organisations (businesses, public entities, the not-for-profit sector and the professions) who employ our students and engage with us on research and educational programmes
> Birmingham and the West Midlands region, and wider society whom we serve as a public university, with a strong sense of place.
Community We are also proud of our diverse community. Students from over 120 countries study at Aston University each year, and we recognise and welcome the important academic contribution and cultural diversity our international students bring to our University environment.
Our 60 acre, self-contained campus is centrally located in the heart of Birmingham, a city internationally recognised as a leader in leisure, entertainment, shopping and sport.
