Newman University’s Student Recruitment and Outreach team strive to raise and enhance students’ knowledge of Higher Education and the opportunities that studying at university can offer them. The team provides a free service to schools, colleges and related institutions  supporting teachers, careers advisors, parents, carers and students through the transition into Higher Education.
