Who we are
The aim is to be a leading university in inclusive education for the graduate workforce of tomorrow. Curiosity, confidence and capability sit beside knowledge, so graduates leave with the resilience to thrive.
Since 1968
We see the potential in every individual
The close-knit community is built on inclusivity, personal support and social impact. Students, staff and partners are recognised, encouraged and empowered to create meaningful change. Building on a Catholic heritage, Birmingham Newman welcomes people from all backgrounds and world views.
Why we are different
Genuine connections and personalised support shape a culture where people are seen. Partnerships with employers and research initiatives keep teaching relevant to real work and real communities.
Saint John Henry Newman’s idea of a university still informs the place: a rounded education, symbolised in the historic crosses of St Chad, a flame for learning, and a forward-facing wolf recalling Wulfwine, the Saxon name linked with this land.
