Middlesex University London is a large London university, with three further campuses overseas, in Dubai, Mauritius and Malta. Our history in higher education dates from 1878 and in 1992 we were granted the royal charter making us a university. Our flagship campus at Hendon, in north London, offers a broad range of career-focused courses through our six academic schools of Art and Design, Business, Health and Education, Law, Media & Performing Arts and Science & Technology, and our Institute for Work Based Learning.
We teach more than 40,000 students on Middlesex courses at our campuses and with prestigious academic partners across the world, making us one of the largest providers of British university education to international students.
With the resumption of the Post Study Work or PSW, Middlesex University London is eager to take students on a journey that transforms their life, empowering them with the tools, attributes, and opportunities they need to turn their potential into real life success. The university specializes as a “University for Skills”.

Students leave with the best possible skills, knowledge and confidence to shine and succeed in their chosen field.
The university offers a vibrant student experience, putting students at the heart of all that they do. Physical spaces and environments are accessible, adaptable, and welcoming. A real sense of community is inspired and fostered on the campus. Middlesex is a global university, with a location in one of the most exciting and diverse cities in the world.
