Middlesex University

Middlesex is really diverse and friendly, which makes it easy to meet new people. The lecturers are supportive, and the facilities are good. Being in London is also a big plus for career opportunities. Communication can sometimes be unclear, and study spaces get crowded during busy periods. Better organisation and more space would improve the experience.

Middlesex is such a embracive place to study because of the friendly community and ideal location, which always creates a vibrant and supportive environment. The university offering immersive learning and neurodivergent friendly lessons, allows myself and students to actively engage with their subjects rather than just learning theoretically. In addition, the learning support available makes a noticeable difference, as myself and students are encouraged and supported academically throughout our studies. The campus itself is very spacious, which is great for taking mental health breaks and having time to reset between lectures. The Students’ Union is very attentive to student concerns — particularly the student voice body that I was apart of, which handles issues with understanding and care. The location feels safe, largely due to the strong community atmosphere on and around campus, I am never far from or out of replenishment services! What truly makes the experience positive, however, is the range of opportunities available. Personally, being involved in external/internal legal advice clinics and receiving encouragement to actively pursue a legal career has been extremely reassuring and motivating. I am not just gaining valuable experience but also learning how to articulate it whilst earning my degree! One area for improvement would be having more microwave stations, so students can have a proper and timely lunch during busy days. Additionally, there could be more university-funded activities for law students, such as law balls, guest speakers from the legal profession, career talks, and networking events. Making these opportunities more structured — and in some cases mandatory — would be beneficial, as law is an intense subject and students would greatly benefit from increased exposure and support.

Middlesex is extremely diverse and an enjoyable place to study. There is something special about this place. The lectures and course material are visionary, in the future and easy to dedicate to. I immediately connected with my professors and felt accepted by my peers

In many ways, Middlesex University has benefited me. The lecturers here are fantastic; I'm taking a law degree course, and I can always count on them for advice. This university warmly welcomed me. Opportunities for networking and future employment are plentiful at Middlesex for students like myself. Another great resource on campus is the university library, which is accessible at all times and offers a wide selection of books available for borrowing. The individuals I've met at this institution, coming from all walks of life, have been amazing!

The various diversity of people, been able to learn from people all around the world. I would improve the selection of firms for the career fairs.
