Newman University is a small and specialist University located on the outskirts of central Birmingham in an area called Bartley Green. 

​Newman Students' Union became a registered charity in 2011 with a Trustee Board and Constitution which governs the Union. The Trustee Board are responsible for the general governance, operations and finances of the charity, however these responsibilities for the most part are delegated to the Union General Manager. To find out more about are Trustees or our Staff, head to our people!

Alongside a General Manager, the Union has two full-time members of staff; the Student Voice & Casework Coordinator, and the Student Communities Coordinator. 

The Officers of the Students' Union are elected through a student vote that takes place towards the end of each academic year to form the next year Executive Committee. There are 8 positions students can run for, 2 full-time positions and 6 part-time positions.

Our Constitution and Bye-Laws are basically the "rule book" of the Students' Union. It sets out how, when and why we do things and is a requirement of the Charity Commission.

A Strategic Plan sets out our targets for the next 3-5 years, how we aim to do it, and what we need to consider to be successful. Our current plan ends this year.

We care about your Data! No, really! GDPR is really important to us, and we have developed a policy that is reviewed annually alongside our Privacy Notice through the Trustees.

Check out any Vacancies we have within the Students' Union! These range from voluntary opportunities for students to full-time employment opportunities.

Policies offer us the tools and boundaries that we need to exist. We have both Union/Staff Policies and democratically-led Policies which are decided at Forum or AGM.
