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.
