Financial and Student Support in 60 Seconds video thumbnail

Well, my favorite thing about Middlesex is actually the amount of support that they give you.

We've got financial support, we've got religious and faith support, we've got neurodiversity and disability support, so much accessibility.

Then we've even got mental health and wellbeing.

I've got tons of experience with some of the counselors you've got at university and they've definitely helped me through my studies, you know, it gets a lot around deadline times, around exam times.

Middlesex has to offer a lot of student supports to its students.

So we have expert library supports, SLA schemes, one-to-one tutors and the library's open 24/7.Well the SLA scheme is amazing.I was an SLA myself and I help younger students with their assignments.

In terms of all the free stuff that you can get as a Middlesex student, there's free printing and there's also free laptop loans.

It's just great to know that you've got loads of support here at Middlesex University whenever you need it.

"Middlesex University has been really good to me and I received support, library help, and free printing. All of my tutors remained open and accessible which made it so much easier to approach them with problems or questions. There have also been revision sessions and optional one to one meetings with the academics."
