We've got a support network to get you through any problems during your time at Middlesex
We've made some changes to make sure that you'll have a strong support network available to you when you start with us during the coronavirus outbreak. Our services will mainly be delivered online so you'll have safe access to the help you need to do your best.
Academic writing and numeracy support
We’re offering lots of online support with academic, writing and numeracy skills.
We’re running online skills sessions as part of your course that are focused what you need to know for your subject.
Outside of your course, we’ve developed online group sessions such as workshops, one to one appointments and virtual drop ins that you can join to learn more skills.
Online support from Student Learning Assistants
Student Learning Assistants are students studying your subject in the year above and will support you when you’re working online and if you come to campus.
You’ll work together in timetabled sessions as part of your course modules and they’ll offer online drop ins too.
If you’re affected by a disability, medical condition or specific learning difficulties our team is here to support you through your studies by making reasonable adjustments to make your course as accessible as possible.
Our team can help put that help in place for you before you start or when you’re a student here to make sure you don’t miss out on any opportunities and have the support you need.
Most of our support services will be offered online this year, for more information you can ask a question using our online form.
Mental health and wellbeing support
Our Counselling and Mental Health Service provide counselling and support for different concerns, mental health challenges and diagnoses. They are currently offering remote appointments over video chat or the phone to provide that support in a safe way.
You can contact the team for different therapeutic support depending what you need. They’ll work with you and other external organisations to help you to get treatment if that’s right for you.
We have a big collection of materials for you to use independently too, such as the Fika app and the Big White Wall.
Finance and welfare support
Our team is here to help, so we’ll give you support to deal with any financial, practical or legal difficulties.
We understand some people are having hard time financially due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, and our team can give personal advice on planning your finances for university, including help with your loan.
If you’re struggling to afford the costs of university you can apply for our Student Support Fund, which you don’t have to pay back. For more information you can ask a question online.
You’ll find Student Learning Assistants - experienced students from the years above - in your seminars, workshops and small group sessions. Their personal experience means they understand some of the challenges that you might face so they can help you to learn.
You can also get support at drop-ins and online from our Graduate Academic Assistants, who also studied your subject at Middlesex, and work alongside staff.
You must be able to write and speak English to a high standard to study at Middlesex.
If you're not at that level yet, we’ll help you to improve with English language teaching before and during your course.
If you weren’t educated in an English speaking school then you'll need to show that you meet our English language requirements.
You can continue to improve your English skills while you study with us with free workshops and one-to-one tutorials.
If you've got a condition that affects how you can study, then our Disability and Dyslexia team is here to put support in place so you can do your best.
