Newman Students' Union is passionate about making sure that everything that you do is driven by Student Voice. Whilst you are at Birmingham Newman University, we want to make sure that your voice is the loudest and we want to empower you to use your voice to create change and make your University experience the best that it can be.
We do this in a variety of different ways including:
- Getting involved in becoming a Course Representative.
- Becoming a School Representative.
- Running in our elections to become an Officer within the Union - whether that is with a part time role alongside your studies or a full time roll after your studies or by taking a break and defering for a year.
- Coming along to one of our Student Council meetings or our annual AGM to hold your Student Council members and Officer Trustees to account and talk about what you are passionate about.
- Each year we appoint 2 Student Trustees to sit on the Trustee Board of the Union, which gives the post-holder access to real Board Room experience.
- Getting involved in things that we are campaigning on.
We exist for and are led by YOU as students so make sure that you get involved and use your voice to make the most out of your time at Newman.
If you would like to find out more about how you can have your voice heard whilst you are at University then please contact the SU President by clicking here. You can also find out who your representatives are this year and how you can get involved by clicking on the relevant menu item in this section of the website.
We are proud of how we represent the student voice at Newman and in 2025, students voted us the Number 1 Students' Union in the West Midlands in both the WhatUni Awards and in the National Student Survey.
