A HIGH-QUALITY, GLOBAL EDUCATION


We have left behind the traditional ‘hub and spoke’ concept and now operate as a global institution with an international outlook and reputation. All our campuses, in Dubai, London and Mauritius are highly diverse and international in their student bodies and increasingly we are connecting students and researchers across our campuses. Dubai has achieved the highest quality ratings for their area and their success is part of the learning for our whole community. With 165 nationalities on our London campus, studying and working there means getting to know people from different cultures and to understand different perspectives. This gives our people an edge and our campus a special energy. The 2021 global Times Higher Education (THE) Rankings of universities under 50 years old recognised both our international outlook – placing us in the top 30 worldwide – and our overall performance, for which we were the 3rd


highest ranked UK university.


A DISTINCTIVE APPROACH TO TEACHING WITH PRACTICE AT ITS HEART


Our students experience education, research and the world of work side-by-side, and they develop the confidence and future-ready skills sought by employers. One in seven of our alumni manage or own a business (Hitachi Capital Invoice Finance, 2020). Our teaching facilities, which include augmented reality midwifery, neonatal and anatomy equipment, and our cyber factory – the first in the UK –, prepare our students to step into the workplace of the future. This year we have continued to bring together academia, colleges, specialist schools and creative enterprises. The Connected Campus for Creative Industries initiative, for example, addresses the gap between employers and higher education in creative fields, promotes collaborative working and provides fair graduate opportunities.


CREATING KNOWLEDGE TO ADDRESS GLOBAL CHALLENGES


Research at Middlesex University is committed to changing lives. We are driving implementable innovation, impactful research and industry engagement – from contributing to a decrease in suicides on the London Underground Network through practice changes, staff training and an award-winning public awareness campaign, to our innovative Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence techniques that are used to increase the inclusion of people with Down’s Syndrome. We are passionate about promoting diversity among our researchers – we have the 2nd


largest


cohort of Research students among UK post-92 institutions and 53% of our Postgraduate Research students are classified as black, Asian and minority ethnic.


Middlesex University is committed to tackling global issues such as gender inequality, quality education for all, climate change, and achieving peaceful societies and economic growth. We are proud of our position in the top 200 universities around the world which are working hard to tackle these issues (THE Impact Rankings 2021). In our outlook, Middlesex reflects the determined and multi-cultural spirit of London, where we are seeking to improve equality, diversity and inclusion and reach disadvantaged or excluded groups. We take our commitment to our local London Borough of Barnet seriously, where we are one of the largest employers and our students and staff regularly volunteer their time, knowledge and skills to support community projects.
