MIDDLESEX UNIVERSITY MALTA


MIDDLESEX UNIVERSITY MAURITIUS (continued)


Working with others to increase impact


Middlesex University Mauritius academics have continued to be highly sought after in the country to head associations, moderate forums and collaborate in research. Mauritius staff talked to the media, and contributed to national policy through roles as ministerial advisers or at industry associations. Campus Director Professor Mari Jansen van Rensburg, who is also President of the Association of Private Higher Education Providers, advised government bodies and led debates on higher education, while Lecturer Shaktee Ramtohul recorded interviews with business leaders, which students can watch on YouTube.


Working in collaboration with the British High Commission and the Nelson Mandela Centre, Middlesex student societies hosted a hugely successful first MDXCultival to celebrate multiculturalism and diversity. For International Women’s Day we offered three inspirational talks by female entrepreneurs, alumni and a UN representative. We also collaborated with Mauritius Police Force to create awareness of laws relating to road safety, drugs, and alcohol among our students, and with the Mauritius Basketball Federation to recruit and train players. We’ve also worked with industry to offer our students the opportunity to participate in programmes and develop advanced skills, including a five-week IBM Academy of Technology and Red Hat Academy course.


In September 2022, we will be closing our Malta campus


After a period of review and careful appraisal of options, it became clear our operating model in Malta is not sustainable and our small campus there will close in 2022. All our students in Malta will be supported to complete their degrees as anticipated and 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


During 2020/21, we focused on optimising student experience during COVID-19 restrictions and we received positive feedback for the support we provided.


Middlesex Business students took part in the 2020 Climathon, a competition about cultivating sustainable tourism on the island, organised by the Malta Ministry of Environment. One student and his team won first prize for an app, Merhba, which provides a one-stop solution for sustainable accommodation, activities, dining and getting around. Computing students took part in Code Sprint, organised by the Ministry of Education, and similar activities were organised by the campus to encourage students to continue their involvement in IT activities.
