Student support

Support for your learning

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.

Library and IT support

• Get expert advice from our helpdesk about things like searching for resources or how to use specialist software
• Book onto training sessions and one-to-one tutorials to learn skills like referencing at an advanced level.

Our libraries, IT and study spaces

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.

English language requirements

If you weren’t educated in an English speaking school then you'll need to show that you meet our English language requirements.

Improve your English before you start

• Pre-sessional Academic English courses - get to our required level of English and build your confidence so you’re ready for your degree.
• Intensive IELTS preparation course - tuition in reading, writing, speaking and listening and focus on the skills that are tested in the IELTS exam.
• International Foundation Programme - a year-long academic course to prepare you for study at a UK university including English tuition.

Support during your course

You can continue to improve your English skills while you study with us with free workshops and one-to-one tutorials.

Student welfare advice

We’ll help you deal with any financial, practical, or legal difficulties that come up when you’re studying at Middlesex. We can give you one-to-one support through appointments, phone calls and email as well as online and printed information and workshops. Our advice is confidential and we won’t judge you.

If we can't help you, we will point you in the direction of external services that can.

Counselling

Our free confidential counselling service can help you with personal, practical, academic, or financial issues. We make sure that you have the information and advice you need help to you through these times.

We give one-to-one counselling sessions and group workshops. We will also give consultations and refer you to other specialists.

Faith and religion

Our students and staff come from all over the world and we celebrate lots of different religions.

Your faith on campus

We have a prayer room on campus as well as different places of religious worship in our local area of north London.

Middlesex has different religious student societies, run by students through the Middlesex University Students' Union. These include the Christian Union society, several Islamic societies and the Jewish Society.
