Education that transforms lives

At Middlesex University, we help our students develop more and go further than they ever thought possible. Our practical, skills-based education transforms the lives of over 36,000 students and apprentices every year, while serving our communities and regions.

Excellence in teaching and learning

Award-winning multi-disciplinary courses 

We are recognised for our high-quality education with a Silver Award for Teaching Excellence (Office for Students, 2023), and as the students’ choice with 1^st in London, 2^nd in the UK for University of the Year (Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2025) and 1^st in the UK for Course Quality (Uni Compare Rankings 2025).

Our multi-disciplinary approach means students can follow their passion across a wide range of subjects, knowing that we will support them to make a valuable contribution to society and the economy through their specialism.

Real-world learning 

Learning by doing, making and analysing 

Our students learn through activities and hands-on experience with real projects, industry placements, and networking with global leaders. We have built our courses alongside industry professionals to ensure our graduates are career-ready from day one, and equipped to continue learning throughout their lives. 

Our industry partners include Google, ASOS, Disney, Deloitte, NHS Trusts, and the Metropolitan Police. 

Teaching informed by research 

Our teaching is underpinned by research that focuses on the critical issues facing our world today, including social justice, sustainability and mental wellbeing. We show students how they can act on global challenges to create a brighter future for all.

Inspiring career success 

Support for every ambition 

Our graduates achieve remarkable results with a degree that has real value. We are 2nd in the UK for Graduate Earnings Growth (The Telegraph 2024) - faster than almost anywhere else - and 1st in the UK for Employability (Uni Compare Rankings 2025).

Beyond a degree that opens doors, we help students to become the best version of themselves. We develop eight key attributes in our graduates that are informed by input from employers, students and staff: Communication empathy and inclusion, Leadership and influence, Entrepreneurship, Curiosity and learning, Collaborative innovation, Resilience and adaptability, Technological agility, and problem solving.

Supporting our region 

Building the talent pipeline 

Our students become the talent that helps our local employers succeed. They apply their advanced knowledge and skills to real-world and work-based projects that benefit our regions and make our North London community into a more welcoming and inspiring place. Through our network of over 1,000 industry partnerships and our skills-based learning approach, we develop career-ready graduates who make an immediate impact in organisations across the world. 

Our outstanding campuses 

The North London University 

Our North London campus is home to some of the UK's best spaces for learning, creating and collaborating, and winner of the best university facilities in the UK (Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2025). These world-class facilities put us ahead of other universities and many professional settings, including our Hollywood standard motion capture suite for animation and augmented reality teaching equipment for nursing and midwifery. We also make the most of our location – just 15 minutes travel to Camden or 25 minutes to King's Cross – with opportunities for students to expand their career prospects and discover a new social life. 

Global campuses 

Each of our global campuses is distinctive with an international reputation for excellence. We received a 5-star rating in Dubai (KHDA Higher Education Classification 2022) and we were the first UK campus university in Mauritius. We also have a location in Minzu. Our students benefit from our international outlook and opportunities as they go out into the global workplace. 

Student life and community 

Inclusive global experience 

With students from more than 140 countries, our London campus is more than just a place to study – it is where community, connection, and unforgettable experiences come to life.  

We are 1^st in London, 4^th in the UK for Student Life (Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2025) and 21^st globally for International Outlook (Times Higher Education Young University Rankings 2024). This global perspective and community opens our students’ worlds and their futures. 

Support every step of the way 

Students at the heart of our actions 

Our students feel supported, motivated and part of something bigger. We respond to the diversity of our students’ backgrounds and genuinely care about their wellbeing and success throughout their journey. This has made us 5^th out of 31 London universities for student positivity and also 5^th in London for listening to students and acting on feedback (National Student Survey 2025). Whatever pathway through which they come to us, we empower ambitious students to succeed.
