Catholic Values
Newman's mission is centred on the Catholic values of tolerance and inclusion. As a Catholic University College, Newman is proud to welcome staff and students of all religions and backgrounds. We are named after our patron, Cardinal John Henry Newman.
Excellent Quality
Newman has an excellent record for the quality of its courses and consistently has one of the best graduate employment rates of UK colleges and universities. In recent years very positive inspection reports have been received from the QAA and OFSTED, including an 'outstanding' grade, the highest possible, for its latest inspection.
Reports frequently highlight the positive experience of students and individual attention offered by Newman’s staff. It was also the UK's top ranked University College in The Guardian's University Guide 2009.
Convenient Location
Situated on the outskirts of south west Birmingham, Newman's campus is based in Bartley Green, some 8 miles from the city centre and overlooks Bartley reservoir and the Worcestershire countryside beyond. Its location makes it convenient for access to both the M5 and M42 motorways.
Friendly Community
As a small University College, Newman is committed to providing excellent student support and welcoming new students into our friendly community. Class sizes are small and lecturers are able to give students greater individual support. Newman’s history and reputation for teacher training ensures that lecturers understand the importance of teaching and enabling a quality learning experience for students
