Middlesex’s Centre for Apprenticeships and Skills was one of eight case studies to feature in the Universities UK report to illustrate how collaborations between higher and further education institutions and employers work in practice and their potential for growth.

New University mace designed by top silversmith and alumnus Richard Fox


This year we received our new mace which symbolises the right of universities bestowed by the Privy Council to grant higher degrees. The mace’s designer, leading silversmith Richard Fox, studied at our predecessor institution Hornsey School of Art and subsequently at the Royal College of Art. He returned to Middlesex as an Associate Lecturer for seven years where he ran the first year silversmithing course in 3D design. He has produced work for Formula One, Rolls- Royce, Garrard, Bulgari, Pernod Ricard, 10 Downing Street and Lambeth Palace, including a chalice presented by the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Pope. The mace is made of Argentium, a silver alloy that is brighter than platinum and tarnish-resistant, first created at Middlesex in the 1990s by Fox’s former technical tutor Peter Johns. Its design symbolises Middlesex’s history and evolution: three seax blades representing the County of Middlesex, a globe alluding to our international campuses in Dubai, Malta and Mauritius and intertwined ribbons recording the names of our predecessor colleges. The University’s Chancellor, Dame Janet Ritterman, kindly donated the financial support for the mace to be designed and created.


The report highlighted Middlesex’s new strategic partnership with Capital City College Group (CCCG) and illustrated how we have aligned FE and HE apprenticeship offers so learners can advance seamlessly from one level to another along a progression pathway. The partnership with CCCG increases the number of students the University can work with to 40,000 across both institutions and enables more learners from a broader range of backgrounds to progress to higher learning – a key objective of the government and of Middlesex’s own mission to aid social mobility. Together with CCCG, we hosted a visit from The Right Honourable Robert Halfon, MP for Harlow and Chair of the Education Select Committee, and Dr Matthew Offord, MP for Hendon, to see the partnership in action and to meet a range of Middlesex apprentices.
