Middlesex University

At Middlesex University, we’re a career-focused university in north London, where practical, real-world learning and employer connections help our students build the professional skills and networks to turn their ambitions into meaningful careers.

We give our students access to employers, industries and professional networks across wider London, as well as a supportive campus in north London. This gives our students the opportunity to study in one of the world’s leading cities while developing skills and professional experience for their chosen careers. That’s why our students voted us 1st in London for Career Prospects (Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2026).

For over 150 years, Middlesex has opened doors to higher education and created opportunities for local people, strengthening our economy and community. This includes training more than 2,000 graduates for essential roles, such as the nurses and teachers our communities need. We believe in lifelong learning and social mobility, and support students from all backgrounds to achieve their aspirations. We have a history of firsts, from the first degrees in business studies and computer graphics to pioneering AR/VR in nursing and midwifery education, alongside outstanding research.

Our global network of campuses in London, Dubai, Mauritius and Hainan in China, creating opportunities to more than 37,000 students and apprentices worldwide.
