So, what makes the journey at Newman distinctive?

At Newman University we do things differently. We believe that learning is nothing without the development of the whole person, which is why we place equal importance on personal wellbeing and high academic achievement.

Through interactive teaching, a comprehensive range of student support services and a strong sense of community, we offer the unique support and guidance that provides our students with personal advancement and academic success.

At Newman you will discover something new. A traditional ethos. A modern approach. A sense of belonging.

Newman University has a compact campus, with all halls of residence and facilities within a short walking distance of each other.

We’re located 8 miles south-west of Birmingham city centre – away from the hustle and bustle of city life, but close enough to Birmingham to easily pop into the city whenever you need to.

All our Halls are located on campus, meaning you’re just a short walk away from your lectures and all we have on offer on our student-centred campus.

Our library is open seven days a week from 7:30am–12pm. With views overlooking Bartley Reservoir, the library is a great place to study. There’s also a 24-hour IT suite on campus, plus lots of more informal study spaces.

Food and drink The Sanctuary is the main eatery on campus, serving a selection of hot and cold meals each weekday. 

We also have a popular Starbucks coffee shop in the main Atrium area, selling a range of cakes and sandwiches alongside Starbucks coffee.
