Alumni

So what happens after graduation? Your relationship with Newman University doesn’t end when you finish your studies. All graduates of the University automatically become members of our free Alumni Association.

What does ‘Alumni’ mean? ‘Alumni’ is the Latin plural term for a former student of a school, college or university (‘alumnus’ being the singular).

What are the benefits? As a Newman University graduate, you will have access to a range of services including ongoing careers advice and support to aid your career development. You will also receive further discounts on campus services and invitations to events. Our Alumni Association is also a great way to keep in touch with the friends you have made during your time at the University and to network with like-minded professionals.

How do I stay connected? To keep up to date just visit our Alumni web page. You can also join our social networking sites on FacebookTwitter and LinkedIn. For further information about Newman’s alumni association, contact alumni@newman.ac.uk
