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 is also the UK's top ranked University College in The Guardian's University Guide 2009.
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.
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. 

Ensuring the degrees offered are relevant to the modern world is also a key feature at Newman. All full-time degrees have a work placement module and an important part of the curriculum is developing transferable skills useful for further study or employment after graduation. Many of the courses at Newman are developed in consultation with employers to ensure the course content is relevant and provides transferable skills valued by graduate employers.
Being founded as recently as 1968, the buildings are modern and purpose-built. The campus is arranged around a series of inner quadrangles of lawns and trees. Halls of residence provide single study-bedrooms for some 220 students, conveniently adjacent to the teaching areas and well-stocked library.
Over the years a strong sporting tradition has developed in Newman: there is a large sports hall, a gymnasium, squash courts, all-weather sports pitch and a health and fitness centre on site. Newman attracts students from all parts of the United Kingdom and beyond. Over the years students from many different backgrounds have studied here and have enriched our communal life. Newman University College promotes equality of opportunity for every member of Newman community in all aspects of the life and work of Newman.
Newman University College is named after John Henry Newman (1801-90), one of the intellectual giants of the 19th century. His life was marked by a constant struggle for integrity and truth at considerable cost to himself.

Newman was an extraordinary thinker whose creative and lively mind engaged with the process by which men and women come to knowledge and truth. His explorations of the human intellectual and spiritual journey anticipate much of the contemporary work on multiple modes of intelligence and understanding that underpin the way we learn and teach at Newman. In his famous lectures The Idea of the University Defined and Illustrated he emphasised the main role of the university to train the mind rather than to diffuse useful knowledge. To this end he developed the tutorial system, which again we use to good effect here at Newman. A deeply spiritual man he was always available to the people of Birmingham, rich and poor, who came to him for advice and instruction. When he died the streets of Birmingham were lined with thousands whose lives he had touched and inspired. He died a Cardinal of the Catholic Church, honoured internationally, but it is his ability to touch and enlighten the hearts of so many, from so many different walks of life, that make him such a fitting patron for our University College and its mission in contemporary British society.
Newman is committed to promoting the broader understanding and awareness of Fairtrade, poverty and the developing world. As a University College we wish to broaden the global perspectives of the communities we work with, including its 400 partnership schools throughout the West Midlands. Achieving Fairtrade status reflects Newman’s mission which is based on respect for others, social justice and equity.
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
