International students

Welcome to London

Middlesex University is a modern, multi-campus university based in North London with a heritage that can be traced back to the late 19th century. Today, we are best known for our forward-looking approach to higher education, innovative teaching and international experience.

Support in your countryOur UK campuses are based in North London, home to a great number of different nationalities. This gives the area a truly international feel and provides opportunities to experience different cultures that you will not find anywhere else in the UK. This makes Middlesex one of the most multinational universities in the country, with a quarter of our students coming from outside the UK and 130 different countries represented.

Student lifeWhile our size and diversity makes us one of the largest educational institutions in the country, our campuses are small enough to be friendly and welcoming. Focused and thriving, our campus communities have much to offer to students of all ages and interests.

We offer a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Our academic provision is delivered by five Schools: Health & Social Sciences, Engineering & Information Sciences, Arts and Education, Business and Work Based Learning.
