Aston UniversityAston University is a small university situated in Birmingham in the United Kingdom with a strong science and technology emphasis. Founded in 1895 as The Birmingham Municipal Technical School, it officially became the University of Aston in Birmingham on receipt of its Royal Charter on 22 April 1966, and acquired its current name in 1997. Amongst the most highly regarded of the courses at the university are engineering, biosciences, pharmacy, business and management, psychology and languages. While Aston University is small, its Business School is world known with excellent teaching and research ratings. The Business School holds accreditation from all three of the major international accrediting bodies (AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB), an achievement that only a few other schools hold. In November 2003, the neighbouring University of Central England asked Aston to consider a merger, though this approach was subsequently turned down. See also University of Birmingham External link
