Middlesex University Mauritius
Over 1,000 full-time students from 37 countries attended Middlesex University Mauritius in 2018/19. The campus is now used as a case study by the British High Commission to illustrate the potential of doing business in Mauritius, and has also been selected by the Mauritius Economic Development Board as part of a list of 10 institutions to showcase the economic health of the country.
Local and international impact
The University is recognised as a leading local education provider, and our staff are frequently consulted by media as thought leaders in their disciplines, who contribute to local policy development and regulations. We have identified a range of new qualifications to specifically address educational needs in areas with skill shortages in Africa. The introduction of these qualifications, alongside our clear recruitment strategies, will ensure continued growth.
Improvements to our campus
Through the joint venture between Middlesex University Mauritius and our local partner The Medine Group, we have been able to develop a state-of-the-art campus. We are part of the Unicity Education Hub, which offers many benefits to our students.
Various developments have taken place in the past year which are specifically designed to improve our students’ campus experience. Examples of this include more local entertainment options and architectural additions such as a new green park, with 15 hectares of forest. This will house an artistic and cultural centre called the Art Station, which is being constructed in phases. The Art Station will provide a platform for art lovers with a host of venues including a music school, bars and restaurants. It will regularly accommodate special events such as concerts, shows and exhibitions.
Middlesex University Malta Looking forward
In September 2022, we will be closing our Malta campus. After a period of review and careful appraisal of options, it became clear that our operating model in Malta is not sustainable. The University’s assessment is that the most effective and sustainable way it can contribute to higher education in Malta is to work collaboratively with partners, rather than maintain a small campus.
We remain fully committed to our long-term relationship with Malta. This year, our presence in Malta continued to receive strong support from the Maltese Government and we work closely with national education providers to advise, collaborate and innovate.
All students can complete their degrees on campus for the full duration of their studies over the next three and a half years. We will ensure our students continue to receive an excellent experience and high-quality education, supported by our dedicated staff in Malta and the UK.
Student experience
The team in Malta set up a close partnership with the Emerging Technologies Laboratory at the Malta Information Technology Agency (MITA). Students have been given unrestricted access to lab equipment to use for their academic projects and we held an expo day at MITA, to showcase the research work being done there.
Our students also got involved in a three-day IT, coding and business competition called Bizz Code. Run by KPMG Malta, students took third place in the competition to produce a minimum viable product within 45 hours.
Events and guest speakers
Postgraduates and undergraduates took part in an International Mediterranean Tourism Forum. Over 1,000 people from more than 39 countries attended the event at which speakers from around the world discussed ways of promoting tourism as a vehicle for peace and stability.
Other events included a series of professional guest lectures throughout the academic year. Speakers included Deutsche Welle’s political correspondent and the Operations Manager at Simonds Farsons Cisk plc.
