About

James Watt

Features On Aston University campus Home to 828 students, James Watt is a sociable community where it's easy to meet new people and make the most of student life. Every room comes with an en-suite bathroom, giving you your own space to unwind. When you're not in lectures, there's plenty of space to relax and recharge. Challenge your mates to a game of pool or table tennis in the common room, sink into the beanbags and sofas, or get your head down in the communal study space. Studying at Aston University? James Watt is exclusively for you. Located right on campus, you’re just moments from lectures, the library and the Student Union. James Watt’s campus location means you can make good use of all of Aston University’s facilities, including the Tesco Express and Sports Centre. And Birmingham’s thriving city centre can be reached in just 10 minutes on foot. With so much great food and drink, nightlife and culture here too, it’s the perfect place to be a student.
