Uganda
Many Ugandan students have studied at Middlesex University particularly for postgraduate qualifications. Over recent years there has been a growth in the number of students taking up undergraduate studies. As for Kenyan students, Middlesex University has become a popular location for students from Uganda since the largest community connected with Uganda lives in North London near the Middleses campuses. The availability of food and other provisions is also a strong attraction.
In 2002 there were over twenty students from Uganda studying at Middlesex University. Most Ugandan students come for undergraduate studies in Business followed closely by Computing and IT. The AMBA accredited MBA is also sought after and other postgraduate students are on courses leading to qualifications in Human Resource Management, Financial Management, Marketing Management, and Business Information Technology. Recently there has been strong growth for the Arts, Environmental Studies and the Social Sciences.
Staff from the our Regional Office and the University visit Uganda at least once a year to meet students interested in studying in the UK.
