When you join Middlesex University Dubai you become a part of a much wider Middlesex family. As a truly global University with campuses in London and Mauritius, we’re committed to meeting the needs and ambitions of a culturally and internationally diverse range of students. I am proud that Middlesex University Dubai is a leading university of choice for students like you, because we strive to put students first, focusing our education and research on tackling real-world challenges and preparing you for a rapidly-evolving world.
You’re joining Middlesex University’s oldest and largest overseas campus. Middlesex University Dubai was opened in 2005 with just 28 students. There are now over 5,600+ students from over 120 countries studying in Dubai across two thriving campuses, and we have a vibrant global community of over 10,000 alumni. We are proud to have been awarded a 5 Star rating in the 2022 KHDA Higher Education Classification developed in partnership with QS™ and be Dubai’s largest UK university licensed by KHDA for the third consecutive year (2021, 2022, 2023).
Throughout your time here and even after you graduate, we’ll empower you to seize the opportunities you need to transform your potential into success! By offering a variety of extracurricular activities, industry competitions, hackathons, and career development opportunities for you to engage in and connect with your chosen industry, we will help you improve your employability skills and ensure that you succeed in today’s highly competitive job market.
Your faculty will endeavour to ensure that you benefit from top-class academic delivery, discover your passions, take advantage of our outstanding student experience, build your industry network, and hone your talents inside and outside the classroom.
We have some incredible new facilities and initiatives, many of which have already been launched in the past academic year and more that are set to launch in the new year. I hope you will make the most of all these incredible opportunities you have access to as a Middlesex University Dubai student, as you build your experience and chart your pathway to success!
Many of you may have come from other curriculums or need to speak to someone about settling into university life. I encourage you to reach out to all your Student Support teams, such as the Centre for Academic Success and Careers and Employability Services, to get advice that is personal to you about how you can launch your dream career and develop your academic skills.
Welcome to Team Middlesex. I wish you a fantastic year ahead, and we can’t wait to see all you achieve! We’re cheering you on every step of the way.
