Undergraduate Finance Information
At Birmingham Newman University, we believe higher education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background or financial circumstances.
We are committed to supporting our students in making informed financial decisions about their future.
Whatever your household income you can afford to attend university as tuition fees do not have to be paid up front and only repaid once you start earning over £25,000 per year. The University’s year part-time degrees also offer a cost-effective alternative to full-time study, which can also be paid for by government loans.
Our courses are designed to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence that employers value, ensuring you graduate career ready.
Birmingham Newman University has a strong track record for graduate employment, with our students going on to succeed in a wide range of industries. Our supportive learning environment fosters creativity, adaptability, and critical thinking—essential qualities for long-term success. With industry-relevant courses and a focus on real-world experience, earning a degree with us is an investment in your future.
The University has invested over £20million in transforming the campus including a new library and state-of-the-art teaching facilities and is continuing the develop the campus in order to provide our students with access to the high-quality facilities they deserve.
Our fee levels have been set to ensure that we can continue to invest in the best learning resources and lecturers to enable our graduates to reach their potential.
A fundamental part of the University’s mission is to support social mobility through education. There is a range of student support and scholarship packages designed to provide financial assistance to students. The University is sensitive to the concerns of some communities regarding interest bearing loans, which has been considered when developing our full and part-time fees.
It is important to remember that no fees have to be paid upfront and the monthly repayments made after graduation are based on your income, not the value of your loan.
