Middlesex University is a large London university, with two further campuses overseas, in Dubai and Mauritius. Our history in higher education dates from 1878 and in 1992 we were granted the royal charter making us a university. Our flagship campus at Hendon in north London and our three other campuses nearby offer a broad range of courses through our four academic schools of Arts and Education, Business, Engineering and Information Sciences, Health and Social Sciences and our Institute for Work Based Learning.

We have invested heavily in our campuses over the last few years and we are now building a state-of-the-art, environmentally sustainable new home for our arts and media courses at our flagship Hendon campus.

We have invested significantly in our research staff and facilities and this was reflected in the latest Research Assessment Exercise which found that 77 per cent of our research was “internationally recognised”. We are a pioneer in university services for business – turning our expertise and teaching into practical advantage for organisations seeking to stay on the cutting edge.

We have over 34,000 students studying on Middlesex courses worldwide, both at our own campuses and also with partner institutions, making us one of the largest providers of British university education to international students.

Mission

Middlesex is an international university with roots in London. The University is committed to meeting the needs and ambitions of a culturally and internationally diverse range of students by providing challenging academic programmes underpinned by innovative research, scholarship and professional practice.

Our mission is to continue to grow as rapidly and robustly we have throughout our history. The focus for now and for the future is on equipping our students with the skills they need for work and for life; developing our campuses, in particular our flagship campus in Hendon, north London and realising our international ambitions with the development of new overseas campuses that make it possible for students around the globe to study and gain a Middlesex degree wherever they live.
