The freshers year at Newman university gave me more experience and also enablled me to make friends and get to know people from the same University. Great space and excellent student support The accommodation at Newman is excellent, it gives you privacy and also great service The library staff are friendly and helpful with range of different books and also there to assist. The classrooms were spacious and also wheelchair accessible which is a great as there was some students on wheelchair. The gym was well required and great staffs A course or a lecture is only great when there's a good and helpful lecturer there and I must say we have some great lecturers who always helped us and I even emailed them during the weekend yet they replied as soon as possible. Great engaging environment City Center was only 20 minutes away from Newman University which means it was great for students and staffs

Freshers week was really good as I had a tour of the university. I made some friends and the stalls were useful to my course as I was able to sign up to various projects to support my studies. The accommodation is located at a perfect distance from university. Facilities are easy to access and very friendly in order to meet the needs of all people. E.g there are ramps put in place for wheelchair users. The library is my favourite place as it is spacious and easy to get around and staff are always happy to help. I have used the sports facilities and really enjoy it Lectures were always there to support us and any questions or enquiries about the course I felt comfortable enough to approach my lectures without hesitation. I love my course City life is great as there is lots to do and I am able to socialise with my friends in public spaces not only uni

It's incredible and very student focused because the class is small so it's easy to focus on the teacher and lesson being taught

There was a wide range of activities. Activities were running everyday on zoom due to Covid. Unfortunately there was no freshers fair. I personally do not live in it but I have been in my friends and there is alot of space and a nice desk to do University work. These facilities are really good becuase the classrooms have lots of space and the sports centres are really good for teaching PE. I enjoy my lectures as I find them interesting and they do help with my assignment. I feel like I have grown close to my tutors as I get to know them and they get to know my name. I was born in Birmingham so I was already familiar with the city but there is alot near Newman for example Northfield and Bullring.

Freshers week was amazing. There was a variety of activities and days planned ahead for us. So all we had to do was turn up and have fun. Really started the academic year off with a bang! I couldn't say much about it as I didn't live on campus Amazing. Everyone was so helpful and kind. Made me feel right at home! We had help all throughout the year. With honest marking, feedback and lessons planned in accordance! Birmingham was beyond my expectation. Everything was so easily accessible through public transport!

Arguably the 2nd best city after London

(4.8)·By james c·Archaeology· Oct 2018
I was a mature student having a tough year, but got some incredible support from the amazing staff here. Newman teacher training got a top Ofsted report; it makes sense, because the academic and administrative staff are always 100% helpful and they hold some excellent day-schools and workshops. The campus is full of friendly people, looks nice and green, and has enough shops for students - if you need more, Birmingham city centre is only 20-30 minutes away by bus.

Newman university is constantly developing and changing for the better after achieving university status. The class seizes are smaller than the generic universities, which is much better for us students, it means that we get to interact with the staff more and have more of there attention. Lecturers are very helpful and knowledgeable, they are always there to help and assist you. The accommodation at Newman university is currently undergoing changed. Most of the rooms are single small rooms and the accommodation officer is really nice and will help you with everything you need. Bathrooms and kitchens are communal, and they will be used up to 6 students in each. Newman university is only 30 minuets journey on a bus from Birmingham city centre where there are load of shops and bars and clubs, Birmingham is a very diverse city but everyone is nice and friendly! The library at uni is expanding and has state of the art computers and equipment for students to use to get their work done. The bar is friendly, comfortable and is a really nice place to chill and drink with friends. We have a really good sports hall and sorts teams that are part of the Students Union. The clubs and societies at Newman university are really good, they have a vast variety on offer to suit everyones needs, football and rugby are the most popular and the standard is quite high.

It was very organised and consisted of some social aspects as well as information about the uni and the course. Which was very helpful and insightful They offer a variety of accommodation which they are happy to provide information about and will give you a tour around if you can't make the open days They are all very good but small since the uni isn't very big. The gym. Is good and cheap so it's suitable for students. The library is very big and they are all very helpful when you are looking for a book. The lecturers are very good. But the criminology lecturers are more helpful than the psychology lecturers. That's only because there's so many psychology students so we can not submit a draft. I like where the uni is located as it's close enough to city to have a quick bus ride. But the traffic near the uni isn't busy at all so it's nicer to drive through.

Freshers week was very settling, I got to engage with my new peers and got to learn something new about each one of them Accommodation needs a refurb Facilities are brilliant and have everything you could possibly need to successfully complete a degree The lecturers are so knowledgeable and have so many great ideas to share As Newman is out of the hustle and bustle of the city, it was quiet
