Being a Student at Aston

I am currently in a final year of my PhD programme. I have been a student at Aston for three years. I came to Aston to complete my Master's Degree in Accounting and Finance which I enjoyed a lot. I was impressed with the level of teaching, staff support and friendly environment. That has influenced my decision to apply for PhD programme as I was always interested in working in academia. 

These two years of being a PhD student, research work and teaching have been an exciting experience. Support from my supervisor and fellow students have contributed a lot to my work process. I am really hoping to stay in academia after completion of my PhD thesis.

I was delighted to become an International Ambassador in my final year of study as it is a great opportunity for any international student and I really look forward to this year and work with an International Office at Aston.
