Aston University’s Access Agreement and Scholarships Programme has been approved by the Office for Fair Access (OFFA) for students joining the university in 2014-15.
Aston’s access agreement continues the Institution’s success of promoting Accessible Excellence in supporting students from a wide range of backgrounds.
Key Elements of Aston’s commitments for 2014 -15 include:
The Aston University commitment aims to be one of the boldest and best at promoting widening participation. At the moment over 90% of Aston students come from state schools, and 35% are from the lowest four socio economic groups. Aston is one of only a handful of Universities in the UK’s top 30 to consistently exceed its government benchmarks on social inclusion.
