About Middlesex University
We have always been a progressive and innovative place to study, from our early days as St Katherine’s College, a women’s teacher training college in Tottenham, which first opened its doors to students in 1878, to the global University of today.
We count amongst our early history the Ediswan Institute, founded by Joseph Swan, inventor of the electric light bulb, an early example of our continuing commitment to innovation. Middlesex Polytechnic was formed in 1967 when Enfield and Hendon Technical Colleges joined forces with Hornsey College of Arts. In 1992, we gained our university status and in 2005 we expanded our profile overseas opening a campus in Dubai, later followed by campuses in Malta in 2009 and Mauritius in 2013.
Our legacy of pioneering new developments includes the UK’s first business degree and professional doctorate, and leading the field in work-based learning and transnational education. This continues today when we educate over 400 teachers and 1,800 nurses and midwives every year – contributing to the nation’s workforce. We are also driving technological innovation and launched the UK’s first cyber factory, where students acquire the skills they need to step into the factory of the future.
140 years on from St Katherine’s College, we continue to take a distinctive approach to teaching. Our students learn through doing, making and through experience. By working on real-life projects, our students are able to apply their advanced knowledge to solve problems and gain key skills sought by top employers. They also regularly take their learning outside of the classroom – through placements and internships – or through working on projects for businesses and the professions.
We have been awarded a Silver for our high-quality teaching in the country’s first Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), a new government scheme looking at how well students are taught at universities across the UK. We were particularly praised for valued and supported teaching and our commitment to pro-actively engage students in their own learning, leading to high levels of student satisfaction. We are supporting students to prepare for their future careers and have introduced three new strands as part of our employability service – MDXcel, MDXcelerator and MyMentor – to enhance the support we give to our students. These initiatives range from opportunities to work on real-life client projects to start-up support, mentoring and coaching. Our staff are passionate and committed to the success
of every student but they also bring valued experience from their various professions and enable students to tap into their professional networks. This means our students have the best learning tools in one place, preparing them each day to get closer to their chosen careers.
With 140 nationalities on campus, our diversity is a source of inspiration and strength and is one of the reasons why we are considered one of the top 15 most international universities in the world*. Our commitment to diversity has been recognised with Middlesex University being 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).
Our international reputation and global connections have not taken away from our sense of community. We take our commitment to our local London Borough of Barnet seriously, where we contribute £289m annually and our students and staff regularly give their time, knowledge and skills to support community projects and to help tackle societal issues.
