We are an international university with campuses in London and Mauritius.  We have four campuses located in north London: our flagship campus in Hendon, at leafy Trent Park and a specialist health campus at Archway.

The campus you study at depends on the subject you are studying and individual course pages will tell you which campus the course is taught at.

We have open days taking place throughout the year, at our Hendon and Trent Park campuses. These are an important opportunity for you to meet academics and support staff, current students and to see our campuses for yourself. Book your place now.

A number of our courses offer a sandwich year as an option, which you can usually elect to take during the second or third year of your course.

To find out if the course you’re interested in has a sandwich year option, visit the courses section which will have more information on that specific programme. Alternatively, you can contact our friendly Enquiries Team who will be able to advise you.

The majority of our courses offer study abroad as an option, which offers most of our students the chance to spend a year studying abroad. This can be as part of their degree course, no matter what you choose to study.  You can opt to do this for a single term, or a whole year and we offer a better choice of partners in all subjects than similar universities.

The two main costs of going to university are tuition fees and living costs.

Tuition fees – are the fees that are paid to the university by you or by the student loan’s company on your behalf. This covers teaching and assessment and the amount is different for UK/EU students and International students – see fees and funding 
 
Living costs – these are your weekly outgoings such as rent, travel, food, social, phone bills, books for your course

Funding for these costs can come from your own savings, however the majority of students take out a loan with the Student Loan’s Company (SLC). Find out more and apply at www.studentfinanceengland.co.uk

Many of our undergraduate students have part time jobs to help support themselves financially.

As well as there being many casual part time jobs available in the London suburbs closest to our campuses, there are also great transport links from campus into central London - where there are lots of job opportunities. Our careers service can help you.

There are also lots of opportunities to get involved at the university as a student ambassador. This could include helping out at induction, open days and going out to events in schools and colleges.

However, be realistic about the amount of hours you can commit to each week, it is important to ensure that you can balance your studies and part time job.

Middlesex teaches over 24 learning weeks from September to April, with exams following shortly afterwards. The university vacations take place at Christmas, Easter and over the summer.
