Professional and Social Sciences Transforming potential into success


In 2018/19 the Faculty of Professional and Social Sciences celebrated several accomplishments. The Faculty groups together subjects from the Business School, School of Law and the School of Health and Education.


Promoting social mobility and social justice


The Faculty of Professional and Social Sciences is a diverse, complex and passionate Faculty, with social mobility and social justice at its heart. Each School shares a common purpose: to make a difference to our students’ lives, the professions and careers they choose, and the communities they live in.


Courses across the Faculty performed well in 2018/19 league tables. In the 2019 Complete University Guide, in London we were first for Social Work, third for Social Policy, fourth for Education, and fourth for Nursing. In addition, Law at Middlesex is the second highest improver among Law schools in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014, moving up 16 places. Middlesex is now the top young university, ahead of several Russell Group universities.


Expanding our apprenticeships


In response to employer demand, especially public sector employers, and as part of our commitment to improving social mobility, this year we have focused on apprenticeships and alternative pathways.


We have expanded our provision of Higher and Degree Apprenticeships in Policing, Nursing, Management, Leadership and Business to Business Sales enabling apprentices to gain knowledge, experience and skills – and a much valued qualification – as they earn that will help them progress in their careers. Further detail about the expansion of our apprenticeship programme can be found on pages 42-43.


Using new technology in teaching


Middlesex was the first university in the UK to invest in ground-breaking augmented reality midwifery, neonatal and anatomy equipment. The investment prepares students for work placements and gives them the skills we know they will need for their future careers. BBC technology programme Click broadcast the equipment in action, and international news organisation Reuters filmed students and staff working with the equipment, highlighting its role in preparing students for the workplace.


Award-winning students and academics


One of our Midwifery practice academics, Sarah Chitongo, was given the Queen’s Nurse title in recognition for her services in midwifery. She is the only midwife to have received the accolade.


Middlesex was nominated in five categories at the prestigious Student Nursing Times Awards 2019, in a record year for entries to the competition. Third year student Bronwyn Evans was nominated for Student Nurse of the Year: Mental Health, and Adult Nursing student Simone Gordon was shortlisted in the Outstanding Contribution to Student Affairs category.


Professor of Nursing Michael Traynor received well-deserved recognition with a Royal College of Nursing Fellowship.


The Middlesex UK Whistleblower Award was established in 2012 to recognise whistleblowers as heroes rather than villains. This year’s recipient was Helen Evans, who blew the whistle on systemic sexual exploitation and abuse perpetrated by Oxfam aid workers. The award recognises her bravery in revealing one of the biggest charity scandals of recent years.


Middlesex University’s involvement in CARESSES, a ground- breaking research project to revolutionise care for the elderly, was listed as one of the UK’s 100 best breakthroughs for its significant impact on people’s everyday lives. The list of breakthroughs, compiled by Universities UK as part of its MadeAtUni campaign, demonstrates how UK universities are at the forefront of some of the world’s most important discoveries, innovations and social initiatives, including the discovery of penicillin, work tackling plastic pollution, ultrasound scans to check the health of unborn babies, and the establishment of the Living Wage.
