We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Birmingham Newman University is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to:
- non-compliances – this means the content in question is in scope of the regulations, but there’s an accessibility problem with it
- an exemption – this means the inaccessible content is out of scope of the regulations, or it’d be a disproportionate burden for you to make it accessible
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
Some of our PDFs and Word documents published since 2018, and older documents that are essential to providing our services, do not meet the required accessibility standards. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterions 1.3.1 (info and relationships), 1.3.2 (meaningful sequence), 1.4.3 (contrast minimum), 2.4.2 (page titled) and 3.1.1 (error identification).
We are working to resolve this in a priority-ranked order and through user training.
Some of our pages use the same link text for different destinations. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.4 (link purpose).
We plan to resolve this by end of October 2025.
Third-party content
The site also contains a range of third-party content and functionality. This may direct you to a related service, or partner we work with. We are reviewing all such functionality and intend to work with suppliers to make that fully accessible or look for alternative solutions.
The ‘Discover Uni’ widget which appears on all course pages (we are obligated to publish these as part of our registration with the Office for Students) is not accessible due to insufficient contrast ratio and animation that cannot be paused. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterions 2.2.2 (pause, stop, hide) and 1.4.3 (contrast, minimum).
Content that is not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents published before 23 September 2018
Many of our older PDFs and Word documents published before 23 September 2018 do not meet accessibility standards – for example, they may not be structured so they’re accessible to a screen reader. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2.
Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as Word documents.
We will make sure that these, and any new documents we publish, will meet accessibility standards.
Live video
Our live video streams don’t have captions. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.2.4 (captions – live).
We don’t plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations. We will add captions to any live stream recordings that we subsequently publish online.
Online maps
We will try and ensure online maps are as accessible as possible, but online maps are currently exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
We are in the process of developing an accessibility roadmap. Once complete this will be published here. We will:
- Continue to deliver training and support for all members of staff who publish/edit digital content.
- Explore setting up a community to support colleagues leading in the accessibility area.
- Continue to provide tools to all content editors which help them to identify and fix any accessibility issues.
- Implement a central reporting mechanism to flag any areas of concern and direct resources to address identified issues.

In particular it enables Birmingham Newman University to see how our users move between devices when accessing the Newman University website and Facebook, to ensure that Newman University’s Facebook advertising is seen by our users most likely to be interested in such advertising by analysing which content a user has viewed and interacted with on the Newman University website.See Facebook’s help page to learn more about opting out of this cookie |

We also use the following cookies from HotJar.com to monitor usability:
Cookies set by the Hotjar script
| Name | Description | Duration | Data type |
| _hjClosedSurveyInvites | Hotjar cookie that is set once a visitor interacts with an External Link Survey invitation modal. It is used to ensure that the same invite does not reappear if it has already been shown. | 365 days | Boolean true/false |
| _hjDonePolls | Hotjar cookie that is set once a visitor completes a survey using the On-site Survey widget. It is used to ensure that the same survey does not reappear if it has already been filled in. | 365 days | Boolean true/false |
| _hjMinimizedPolls | Hotjar cookie that is set once a visitor minimizes an On-site Survey widget. It is used to ensure that the widget stays minimized when the visitor navigates through your site. | 365 days | Boolean true/false |
| _hjShownFeedbackMessage | Hotjar cookie that is set when a visitor minimizes or completes Incoming Feedback. This is done so that the Incoming Feedback will load as minimized immediately if the visitor navigates to another page where it is set to show. | 365 days | Boolean true/false |
| _hjid | Hotjar cookie that is set when the customer first lands on a page with the Hotjar script. It is used to persist the Hotjar User ID, unique to that site on the browser. This ensures that behavior in subsequent visits to the same site will be attributed to the same user ID. | 365 days | UUID |
| _hjRecordingLastActivity | This should be found in Session storage (as opposed to cookies). This gets updated when a visitor recording starts and when data is sent through the WebSocket (the visitor performs an action that Hotjar records). | Session | Numerical Value (Timestamp) |
| _hjTLDTest | When the Hotjar script executes we try to determine the most generic cookie path we should use, instead of the page hostname. This is done so that cookies can be shared across subdomains (where applicable). To determine this, we try to store the _hjTLDTest cookie for different URL substring alternatives until it fails. After this check, the cookie is removed. | Session | Boolean true/false |
| _hjUserAttributesHash | User Attributes sent through the Hotjar Identify API are cached for the duration of the session in order to know when an attribute has changed and needs to be updated. | Session | Hash |
| _hjCachedUserAttributes | This cookie stores User Attributes which are sent through the Hotjar Identify API, whenever the user is not in the sample. These attributes will only be saved if the user interacts with a Hotjar Feedback tool. | Session | JSON |
| _hjLocalStorageTest | This cookie is used to check if the Hotjar Tracking Script can use local storage. If it can, a value of 1 is set in this cookie. The data stored in_hjLocalStorageTest has no expiration time, but it is deleted almost immediately after it is created. | Under 100ms | Boolean true/false |
| _hjIncludedInPageviewSample | This cookie is set to let Hotjar know whether that visitor is included in the data sampling defined by your site’s pageview limit. | 30 minutes | Boolean true/false |
| _hjIncludedInSessionSample | This cookie is set to let Hotjar know whether that visitor is included in the data sampling defined by your site’s daily session limit. | 30 minutes | Boolean true/false |
| _hjAbsoluteSessionInProgress | This cookie is used to detect the first pageview session of a user. This is a True/False flag set by the cookie. | 30 Minutes | Boolean true/false |
| _hjFirstSeen | This is set to identify a new user’s first session. It stores a true/false value, indicating whether this was the first time Hotjar saw this user. It is used by Recording filters to identify new user sessions. | Session | Boolean true/false |
| hjViewportId | This stores information about the user viewport such as size and dimensions. | Session | UUID |
| _hjRecordingEnabled | This is added when a Recording starts and is read when the recording module is initialized to see if the user is already in a recording in a particular session. | Session | Boolean true/false |
Visitors with Disabled Cookies and HotJar.com
Hotjar.com does not track or record visitors who have cookies disabled. In fact, the Hotjar script doesn’t properly load its different components if it detects that cookies are disabled. Learn more
Further information
We analyse demographic and other statistical information about user behaviour to analyse the popularity and effectiveness of our site. In performing such analysis and in the course of our business we will only ever disclose such information in an aggregated form that is not capable of identifying an individual user.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS, ADS CONVERSION TRACKING AND REMARKETING
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland („Google“). In addition, our website uses Google Ads conversion tracking and Ads remarketing and Google Signals, which are also services by Google.
Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to analyse and improve our website based on your usage behaviour. Google Ads conversion tracking and Ads remarketing also use cookies and similar technologies in order to measure the performance of advertisements placed (so-called Ads campaigns) and to show you individualised advertising messages on websites that collaborate with Google. Google Signals compiles for us multi-platform data reports on Google users that have enabled personalised advertising in their Google accounts. To change what information Google collects visit My Activity.
The data collected in this context may be transferred by Google to a server in the United States and stored there. For the event that personal data is transferred to the United States, Google has agreed to the conditions of the EU-US Privacy Shield.
Google will truncate your IP address before analysis of the usage statistics, which means that conclusions cannot be drawn as to your identity. For this purpose, the code “anonymizeIP” has been added to Google Analytics on our website to guarantee collection of anonymised IP addresses.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing the website operator with other services relating to website and Internet use.
The Google Ads conversion tracking cookies ordinarily remain enabled on your computer for around 30 days. If you visit our website during this period, both Google and we will be informed that you saw the displayed advertisement.
In case that you use a Google account, Google can, depending on the settings stored in your Google account, associate your Internet and browser cache with your Google account and use information from your Google account to personalise advertisements. You must sign out of your Google account before visiting our website if you do not want this association with your Google account.
If you have enabled personalised advertising in your Google account, Google will be able to prepare data models and reports on website habits, which show for instance on which device you first clicked on an advertisement and on which device any eventual purchase took place. These data models and reports are based on random samples and are pseudonymised to ensure anonymity, which means that we are unable to draw any conclusions as to the identities of the individual Google users.
To see how Google will use your personal data when you give consent view their business safety & privacy and terms site.
FACEBOOK PIXEL
In addition, our website uses remarketing tabs for marketing purposes (also the “Facebook Pixel”) by Facebook Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA (“Facebook”). This tag establishes a connection between your browser and a Facebook server when you visit our website. Facebook therefore receives information that you have accessed our website with your IP address.
For the event that personal data is transferred to the United States, Facebook has agreed to the conditions of the EU-US Privacy Shield Facebook uses this information to send a statistical and anonymous data about the general use of our website, as well as on the efficiency of our Facebook advertising (“Facebook Ads”).
If you are a member of Facebook and have made the appropriate privacy settings on your Facebook account, Facebook will also be able to associate the information stored with us about your visit with your personal account, which it can use for the targeted display of Facebook Ads.
You can access and change the Privacy Settings for your Facebook profile at any time.
