INTERNATIONAL CAMPUSES


MIDDLESEX UNIVERSITY DUBAI


Middlesex University Dubai has had a highly successful year, attracting more students, planning to open a new campus and gaining chartered recognition


Growing and achieving in a challenging time This year we entered our 16th


year of providing a


high-quality UK education in Dubai to over 4,100 students from nearly 120 nationalities, reflecting the diversity of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).


We launched our ‘Think Smart. Study Different’ model. This gives all students a choice between blended and distance learning, to ensure continuity of education and help them feel safe during the pandemic. Technology has played a huge role keeping our community together, both in and outside the classroom. Team Middlesex, our Student Activities Department, organised more than 130 virtual events that helped students connect, learn, enjoy themselves and relax.


Middlesex University Dubai celebrated many student successes this year. Three Journalism students were among the first graduates of the CNN Academy at its Abu Dhabi studio. They produced three video broadcasts, with Elena Stoica’s story shown live on CNN to a global audience. A team of Law students reached the quarter finals of the 8th


of our second campus, based in Dubai International Academic City, in addition to our main campus in Dubai Knowledge Park. In 2020/21 we prepared for launching the new campus, with which Middlesex will become the first university to have a campus in both of Dubai’s international academic hubs.


Working with industries


The University won the Global Silver in the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) Campus Culture Excellence Awards, which recognises institutions that have made outstanding contributions to the accounting profession. We also became one of the only CIM Accredited Study Centres in Dubai and began offering CIM qualifications.


International Children’s Rights Moot Court 2021 organised by Leiden University, and Fashion Design students won the top three prizes at Fashion Revolution UAE’s Sustainable Fashion Competition.


The growth and success of our thriving student community will be further enhanced with the September 2021 launch
