Find courses

Only Aston offered the combination of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science that I was looking for. Aston has good rankings and has a proven track record of employability and is a well-reputed University.

On my course, we all work together and help each and by the final year we are a very close knit group. The tutors are really helpful.

The campus is located at Birmingham city centre and is not spread out across the city so everything is compact and there is a good student life. I did three placements: A summer placement with BBC Research and Development, working as a Network Engineer. This placement goes to the student with the best grades in the first year of my course. I learnt to work in an organised way and improved my skills in testing systems. I did a year long placement with BMW, working as a Quality Analyst. I learnt to communicate with dealerships all over the world and so improved my communication skills. I completed an in-house placement, working with the Aston Photonic Research Group. I learnt a lot about research skills.
