Middlesex graduates have the outlook and vision that many employers are crying out for.
“I know that the outstanding executive team will take forward our strategy which is already having a positive impact. I have every confidence that Middlesex will go from strength to strength and will continue to be an institution that puts students first and transforms potential into success.”
