Dear Erica,
The JISC Additional authorised user licensing initiative deals with this for JISC collections - where the suppliers agree, institutions can "pay for an upgrade to the Model Licence to cover defined user groups, studying and teaching in Partner Organisations within the UK and overseas".
http://www.jisc-collections.ac.uk/Guide-for-Publishers/Additional-authorised-users
Look under 'Pricing and Subscription information' for any JISC resource, eg. for Web of Science it says "Additional Authorised User licences will be supported on a case-by-case basis and Thomson Scientific welcome requests from institutions regarding this provision".

The students will be registered with Aston University and will receive a username and password from us, but they will be studying on these collaborative courses from within their own institutions (i.e. we're not talking about a separate Aston campus overseas).
