Young female student reading through business and economics books

My name is Satkeen Azizzadeh and I'm a senior lecturer in human resources.

Our courses are very much based on practice-based learning and authentic assessments.

There are sets of graduate capabilities and competencies that we have listed.

And these are at the core and at the foundation of our all our programs and our curriculum.

So the help you get in Middlesex University is amazing.

The teachers, they are very polite with you and the academics help you get the good grades, they keep pushing you even though you ask them multiple questions.

They are on their way to help you.

So I really like how the lecturers are really, really open.

I've been to every lecturer's office hours, just going, "Can you please look at my work? Can you just, how is this going? Can you just..? And constantly getting the feedback to actually get my grades up quite a bit."

We have more than 100 nationalities in our classrooms, and this is something that we take a lot of pride in, and we truly embrace this.

This diverse group of students, they bring diverse perspectives into our classrooms, so they enrich the discussions in the classroom.

As an international student, I have been focused on using all the facilities that are available and

and it's just been life changing for me to be here.

We were ranked number one in Research Excellence Framework of 2021, in terms of impact.

Staff at Middlesex University are very research focused.

And this research actually informs their teaching and the design of their curriculum, their assessment.

And we see this in their everyday teaching in the classroom.

I did do an internship.

So there I learned a lot of practical skills and the uni helped me through that with MDX works.

The uni itself has given me a lot of confidence and a lot of skills.

I feel very confident in going into the professional world.

We have our practice based learning and assessments, authentic assessments that link everything that we teach in the classroom to what's happening in the industry, to make sure that we actually close that gap and bridge that academic knowledge with what is needed and demanded in the industry.
