The NOVUS Scheme

The Business and Supply Chain Management course at Aston is linked to the NOVUS Trust group of companies, which gives applicants the opportunity to be considered for entry to the NOVUS scheme. This offers professional mentoring, summer work experience, a guaranteed third year, paid placement and (on achieving at least a 2:1) graduate employment.

When we receive your application we will contact you to enquire if you would like to take part in an interview for a place on the NOVUS scheme - it won't affect your offer of a place on the course but it could mean that you start university secure in the knowledge that you will have a job offer on graduation!
