Formed in Birmingham; Sixty Years of Aston University
Formed in Birmingham marks the 60th anniversary of Aston University. It charts its journey from a pioneering technical institution serving the city’s industries to a modern, internationally recognised university.
The book combines rare archival material with specially commissioned contemporary photography, and captures both Aston’s heritage and its forward-looking identity. The historic archive images sit alongside new photography by Birmingham photographer Jonathan Berg, offering a visual record of today's campus, its people and its place within the city.
Produced to high-quality art book standards, this richly illustrated book celebrates the innovation, enterprise and inclusivity that continue to define Aston University. It highlights the achievements, research and community impact that have shaped its first sixty years and looks to the future direction of Aston University.
