Robotics student working on a project

My name is Puja Varsani and I'm an Associate Lecturer.

Within engineering, we've got a fair few bits of facilities.

So we've got a Robotics lab, an Electronics lab, we've got a Mechatronics lab, we've got lots of different areas that are very specialist.

And it's really nice because even though we as engineers use it, there are other departments that use it.

And then those conversations between those two different students from different backgrounds and perspectives really does allow the creativeness, innovation and makes for some fantastic projects.

My name is Professor Mehmet Karamanoglu, I'm a head of department for Design, Engineering and Mathematics.

One of the ways that we offer is that actually linking students with industry.

As a department we work very closely with a professional service called MDX Works to offer placements and internships on campus as well as in industry.

So all of our programs are accredited by a professional body and recognized by industry and are highly in demand.

One of the good things about the university being located in North London is the fact that you can access via the underground lots of different locations and destinations that can then expose you to different types of engineering or different types of design.

We have weekly guest lectures, which are a great opportunity to connect with people in the industry and get advice on building your portfolio and your presence as a designer.

In my first year, I was actually allowed the opportunity to participate in the IMechE competition.

So the IMechE is a mechanical engineering competition that is organized yearly.

Great experience because I had to participate against schools like Imperial College, UCL, I met a lot of people, yeah, it was very, it was very good experience.

I mean, the key thing is to keep up to date.

So the reason why we use industry equipment, even though it is a little bit more expensive than educational kit, is that the students are, they call them oven ready in industry.

And when we buy some piece of equipment, we're not just a customer, so it comes with the staff training, it comes with resources that they would have given their customers.

So when they graduate, they can actually add value on arrival.The assignments they give are not just random assignments, they are based on real world application.

So it makes you, help you prepare for your future career.

So we work very closely with industry, and we try and replicate what our graduates will be doing in industry as part of their course.

Having that also the academic freedom to enable that to happen is what's the best that I find at Middlesex.

Industry experience

Industry experience and partnerships

Our engineering and technology courses are shaped with professional bodies and employers, ensuring your learning is aligned with industry standards and emerging technologies.

  • Degrees are professionally accredited by bodies such as the Institute of Engineering Designers (IED) or the Engineering Council, giving you confidence that your engineering degree meets recognised benchmarks and supports IEng/CEng registration.
  • We maintain partnerships with companies such as Siemens and FESTO, giving you access to real-world projects and training materials used by engineers in industry.
  • You’ll benefit from links with professional organisations, along with guest lectures from design and engineering experts.
  • Many courses offer placement years, employer-linked group projects and live briefs, helping you to connect your engineering and technology degree with real roles in sectors like manufacturing, transport, construction and energy.
  • You’ll have opportunities to enter prestigious competitions such as WorldSkills UK, and to get involved in high-profile events like New Scientist Live and the Skills Show at the NEC.

News

“A great aspect of this course was the practical approach to learning, where the theory was put straight away into practice. I really enjoyed the process of transforming a concept into an actual object and the project-based nature of the course means that it is always diverse and fun. The facilities that we had access to were great. I often used the laser cutter, putting into practice the Solidworks (CAD software) skills that we learned. I find it very helpful in my projects, especially developing prototypes.”
