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. Our Catholic ethos means that:

* we aim to respect and encourage the individual integrity of everyone who is a part of the life of the University College
* we will strive to be an inclusive community which emphasises the Christian practice of hospitality, cherishing the diverse traditions represented at Newman University College
* we are committed to promoting the Christian virtue of justice in our neighbouring community, nationally and internationally, and to seeking external partners that support this vision
* we place worship and reflection at the spiritual centre of our life and work
* we work to foster a sense of vocation in students and staff, so that we are able to take responsibility for the flourishing of our world.

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.

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 £20 million is being invested on improving the campus
