Choosing the Aston Online MBA means that you become part of an innovative and flexible learning community dedicated to the needs of today’s business executives.

Welcome to a well-supported learning community that is ready whenever you are

Studying online at Aston does not mean that you are on your own. You will follow a carefully structured series of modules, with a comprehensive support network and access to a range of virtual classroom materials and a virtual MBA Lounge, all available online.

Reinforce your learning with annual residential workshops

You will also have the opportunity to attend two residential workshops, in July of each year, enabling you to build relationships with the community of academic staff and fellow students from around the world with whom you have been working remotely throughout the year. The residential takes place at Aston in the first year, and one of our partner institutions in the second.

Round-the-clock facilities for all the help you’ll need

My Aston Portal (MAP) provides you with an online, interactive learning platform that connects you to Aston from wherever you are in the world. MAP allows online group work, so you can benefit from shared knowledge in a global classroom. All administrative documents can be accessed online and you can receive and submit all coursework electronically.

Depending on time commitments and location you can take part in 'drop-in' lectures or complete entire modules as a full time student. All arrangements are made through the dedicated MBA student support team who are here to guide you through this process.

Become connected, think globally, learn differently
You become part of a global network of aspiring business leaders, benefiting from virtual connections with your peers and our international network of corporate connections. As an online student you will be able to attend on-campus or in-country Aston Business School events ensuring that you are truly part of the Aston community.

As an Aston student, you will also have full access to the online materials in our extensive university library.
