About Newman Students’ Union Advice Service.
At the Students’ Union, our Student Voice and Advice Manager is here to provide independent, confidential support and guidance throughout your university journey. Whether you are experiencing academic difficulties, facing a university process or simply need advice on a concern affecting your studies, support is available.
Students can contact the Student Voice and Advice Manager by email, arrange an appointment or meet in person to discuss their situation. All conversations are treated in the strictest confidence and information will not be shared without your consent.
Our aim is to equip students with the advice, guidance, skills, and support they need to succeed during their time at Birmingham Newman University. We are committed to helping students navigate challenges that may impact their academic progress and overall university experience.
Academic Advice and Support
We can provide guidance and support in relation to a range of academic matters, including:
- Academic Integrity Cases
- Student Complaints
- Academic Appeals
- Additional Considerations
Representation and Advocacy
We also offer representation and support throughout formal university procedures, including:
- Placement Review Meetings
- Fitness to Practise Procedures
- Fitness to Study Procedures
- Student Disciplinary Hearings
Further information about these processes can be found on our Advice Hub.
Additional Support
If your query falls outside of the areas listed above, we can still support you, even if that means directing you to the most appropriate service, either within the University or through relevant external organisations.
If you require advice or support, please email the Student Voice and Advice Manager to arrange an appointment. You are also welcome to visit the Students’ Union offices to discuss support in person.
We aim to respond to all enquiries within three working days.
