As Dean of the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences at Aston University I am delighted to welcome you for the new academic year. The College has a vibrant, creative and innovative curriculum and I hope that you engage with the many additional opportunities that we are able to offer, both through the school and through engagement with the Student Union.
We aspire to create the very best graduates that are successful in gaining graduate jobs across a broad range of industrial sectors. The more you engage with opportunities available to you through the College and elsewhere, the more impressive your CV will be when you come to look for jobs.
There is a national shortage of STEM graduates so choosing to study an Engineering or Applied Science course at Aston will allow you to develop your skills and experience for an exciting and challenging career. I wish you a successful time with us where your engagement and hard work on the course fits you for a bright future.
