Overview

Birmingham Newman University was founded in 1968 as a Catholic teacher training college, and today it is a small, single-site university on Genners Lane in Bartley Green, eight miles south-west of Birmingham city centre. Around 5,000 students study there, supported by around 400 staff, in a close-knit community where students get close contact with their tutors. Newman is known for its commitment to social inclusion: around 70% of its students are the first in their family to go to university, more than half come from Black, Asian and ethnically diverse backgrounds, and 55% come from the most deprived areas of the country. It was named the Times and Sunday Times University of the Year for Social Inclusion in 2026 and ranked 1st in England for Student Satisfaction in the Complete University Guide 2025. The university's single campus brings teaching, halls, the library and student services together in one place, with sports facilities and green space on site. Its small size and Catholic heritage give it a warm, community feel, and its students benefit from close contact with tutors and support staff.
