Headstart

Welcome to Birmingham Newman University.

HeadStart is a programme of activities and events for students and ran from Monday 1 to Friday 5 September 2025 on campus and online.

It is an opportunity for new students to get used to their new university, and to settle in early on. It is designed to make students feel ‘at home’.
