Aston University (abbreviated as Aston for post-nominals) is a public research university situated in the city centre of Birmingham, England. Aston began as the Birmingham Municipal Technical School in 1895, evolving into the UK's first college of advanced technology in 1956.[6] Aston University received its royal charter from Queen Elizabeth II on 22 April 1966.
Aston pioneered the integrated placement year concept over 50 years ago,[7][8][9] and more than 73% of Aston students take a placement year, the highest percentage in the UK.[10] The annual income of the institution for 2021–22 was £197.7 million of which £19.3 million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £219.4 million.[2]
In 2020, Aston University was named "University of the Year" by The Guardian,[11] and the newspaper also awarded Aston Students' Union its "Buildings That Inspire" award.[12] The Times Higher Education Awards named Aston University as its "Outstanding Entrepreneurial University" in 2020.[13]
In September 2021, Aston was shortlisted for University of the Year in the Times Higher Education Awards 2021.[14]
