Financial Statements 2017/18
Year in review continued
Breaking down barriers to address people’s fear of maths
Dr Alison Megeney, Associate Professor of Mathematics, received a prestigious National Teaching Fellowship award which recognises and celebrates individuals in higher education who have made an exceptional impact on student outcomes, and on the teaching profession. Her work helps to create interesting and useful interactions through a variety of methods, whether by building mathematical objects, through mathematical games and puzzles or group activities. She encourages students to become mathematics ambassadors at local and national outreach events, including our STEM Festival, interactive science festival SMASHFestUK, WorldSkills UK at the NEC Birmingham and New Scientist Live.
Middlesex secures grant for Mental Health Social Work
Middlesex won a competitive Think Ahead bid for a government backed national pathway for postgraduate mental health social work training. This national project aims to improve the experience of mental health service users. Our work in progressing this important workforce development initiative will help to elevate the role of the mental health social worker, who is highly trained and motivated and has excellent knowledge of mental health practice.
First Gradstock careers festival
We held our first ever careers festival, Gradstock, with bands, a chill-out space and a games zone alongside a more traditional careers fair and networking. 38 employers took part, including Ikea, HarperCollins Publishers, Siemens Financial Services, Urban Outfitters and Capita IT Resourcing. Keynote addresses were delivered by Drew Morris, Head of Social Mobility at the Ministry of Justice – which is currently developing a bespoke internship for Middlesex students as part of its drive for a more diverse workforce – and Middlesex graduate Nick Chandler, a Partner at KPMG, which offers application bootcamps as part of its commitment to social mobility.
First university to receive UK Investor in Equality and Diversity Charter Mark
Dr Alison Megeney
Academic awarded prestigious British Academy Newton Advanced Fellowship
Dr Soydan Soylu, Senior Lecturer in Organisational Psychology won the British Academy Newton Advanced Fellowship securing a grant of £72,239 for a research project. The project aims to improve the understanding of the use of online health forums in Turkey, and the quality of knowledge necessary for users to make informed decisions on health issues. The work is scheduled to begin in September 2018. This prestigious award is highly recognised within the higher education sector and is valued internationally.
We are the first UK university to be awarded a Corporate Gold/Embedded Charter Mark by equality, diversity and inclusion specialists UK Investor in Equality and Diversity (UKIED). The Charter Mark was presented at UKIED’s annual conference where Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities Dawn Butler and Visiting Teaching Fellow at Middlesex Patti Boulaye OBE gave keynote addresses. We join organisations including the National Union of Students, the Institute of Physics, the General Medical Council and the Financial Conduct Authority in receiving the Charter Mark. In a rigorous assessment process, including interviews with staff, students and external contacts and a site visit, UKIED concluded there was:
overwhelming and compelling evidence, particularly in relation to students, that Middlesex University is genuinely committed to embedding equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) within all elements of the learner experience.
