Aston attracts some of the most talented, innovative and dedicated students from the UK and around the world. But you know that - you were one of them.

Whilst some things always seem to stay the same - our high rate of graduate employment, our exceptional performance in league tables, our achievements in research and industry - certain aspects of the University are changing. One such aspect is the way in which you can get involved and help to shape our future.

Donations from alumni are having a dazzling affect on our students. Hundreds of people have made a gift to Aston over the past five years, helping to finance over £250,000 of worthwhile projects and initiatives. Your gift, whatever the amount, is central to their development - and really will make a difference.

Browse this website to find out how ordinary graduates are having an extraordinary impact on current, and future generations of Aston students. We are so proud of our alumni. You have made us what we are. It is you who will continue to make Aston a pioneer in higher education.
