Verified against official sources · last checked September 2026 · see sources

Aston University charges £25,500 for international students and £14,000 for UK (home) students for the one-year MSc Business and Management in 2026, per its own course page — and unlike most master's, that fee now bundles a guaranteed industry internship (no separate charge to take part). As a British one-year master, it sits below London-based names like LBS or Imperial on the international sticker price while still coming from a triple-accredited school — see where it lands in how much a MiM in Europe costs and the best-value MiM shortlist. Birmingham is England's second city but living costs run well below London — budget realistically against the UK student-visa maintenance figure (about £1,023 a month outside London for 2025, which the Home Office sets and updates), and confirm the current fee and any Aston Business School scholarships on Aston's own pages.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Aston MSc Business and Management cost?
For 2026 entry, Aston University charges £25,500 for international students and £14,000 for UK (home) students for the one-year MSc Business and Management, as stated on its own course page. Unlike most master's, that fee now includes a guaranteed industry internship — there is no separate charge to register for or take part in the scheme. The international sticker price sits below London-based British master's such as London Business School or Imperial while still coming from a triple-accredited school. Aston is in central Birmingham, so living costs are lower than in London — a useful reference point is the UK student-visa maintenance figure the Home Office sets (about £1,023 a month outside London for 2025). Budget for those living costs on top of tuition, and check Aston Business School's pages for any scholarships or fee discounts, which change each cycle.
Is Aston Business School a good — and accredited — business school?
Aston Business School holds 'triple-crown' accreditation — AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS — the three international benchmarks that, in Aston's own words, only about 1% of business schools worldwide hold together. That places it in select company internationally, alongside the other UK triple-crown schools such as Warwick, Manchester, Loughborough and Henley. We do not quote a specific Financial Times or QS position for this individual MSc here — programme rankings move each year and not every UK master's is listed — so judge it on its accreditations, the guaranteed internship, subject fit and the school's standing rather than a single ranking number, and check the current tables on Aston's own page.
Where is Aston, and is it taught in English?
Aston University is in central Birmingham, on a single-site campus in England's second-largest city — well connected by rail (roughly an hour and a half from London) and with a large graduate-employer base across the Midlands. The MSc Business and Management is taught in English, so you do not need any other language to complete it, and there are three intakes each year (September, January and April). As a major regional city rather than the capital, Birmingham typically means lower living costs than London-based UK master's — a genuine consideration when you compare the total cost of a one-year British MiM against Continental options, especially once the included internship is factored in.
