Important information for international students

If you have any questions about entry requirements and the suitability of your qualifications, please contact your regional team.

Undergraduate - Year 1

For entry to most undergraduate courses, you must have completed your Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC or IB), and provide certificates of your SC results, HSC results and leaving certificate.

If you don't meet our entry criteria, you may be considered for our one-year International Foundation Programme.
Students who successfully complete a foundation course at Middlesex will automatically progress onto a Middlesex degree.

Undergraduate - Year 2 & 3

Students who wish to transfer from the Middlesex University Mauritius Branch campus to our campus in London should contact the student office at the university.

If you have achieved a Foundation Degree, CertHE, DipHE, HNC, HND or a number of modules of an undergraduate degree course at another university, you may be able to enter directly into the second or third year of one of our undergraduate degree courses as a transfer student. We recognise qualifications from a range of awarding bodies including Aptech, ABE and Edexcel.

Postgraduate

For most postgraduate courses, you must have completed a good Bachelor degree, equivalent to a British second class honours degree. Our MBA courses require at least two years of post-graduation work experience at management level, and in some cases a GMAT score of over 550 will also be required.

You must also meet our standard English Language Requirements. If you don't meet these or one of our other accepted tests, we offer a Pre-sessional English course.

We understand that knowing how you’ll fund your studies as an international student is something you’ll want to tick off your list as soon as possible. We’ve got plenty of support on budgeting to help you get the most out of your money and your university experience.

A word from our students

At Middlesex, you’ll join a truly global community with students from 122 nationalities and campuses in London, Dubai and Mauritius.

We don’t think there is anywhere better to be an international student than Middlesex University but don’t take our word for it and hear from some of our international students about their experience at Middlesex.

When I graduate, I'm going to work as a software engineer in London, and Middlesex has helped me apply for jobs and helped me with my CVs. In general, Middlesex has helped me gain knowledge and skills that will help me fit into the workforce outside of my studies.

The university supports me as an international student primarily by creating a very diverse environment. So when you walk around campus and you hear people speaking different languages, not necessarily English, from different parts of the world,

it helps to be reminded that you're not the only one who's left your country to try this new experience. Meeting people from different backgrounds, I think that has been the greatest thing about London; I get all that exposure.

And in my final year, I get to work part-time, and the school has provided me with opportunities to volunteer.

Currently, I'm part of the African Caribbean society. Um, we do have a group chat on WhatsApp, and we've also had, like, uh, we get together at parties as well.

Being an international student moving to a new country by myself, it's scary, but I currently live in Plaxtol. I quickly made friends. I got to meet a student who was doing my course, psychology, and she was my classmate.

And the campus is in one place; everything is situated in the same area. Facilities as well, like the StoneX Stadium. I love having my classes next to the stadium. It's fun looking out to see the green grass and everything, so it really helps.

Also, if you want to get to know London, it's quite easy. Uh, you can always take the tube or the bus anywhere in London. As an international fan, for example, I always wanted to go to the Emirates Stadium. At the time that I was applying to Middlesex, living mostly in Central and East Africa, I used the regional office in Nairobi. They were really helpful in answering my questions and guiding me through the process.

I sat down with my lecturer, and she said to me, "Well, Primrose, why don't you consider the wellbeing services?" And it changed my life. It was great. So I think it was just a wonderful experience knowing that the school not only cares for my grades but they also really care about my wellbeing. They care about that, and they want to make sure that you're doing well.
