881 Middlesex University reviews

There were zero university efforts within the MA Photography course or by its leaders to assist/increase employability.

Literally nothing is taught on the MA Photography course. Everything I learned was by self-initiative. The course leaders never parted with an iota of useful information or insight, and the so-called Master Classes by visiting photographers were nothing more than presentations on their catalogs of work. Not one of these people actually parted with beneficial information.

On balance, Middlesex University has excellent photography facilities for all its courses. The problem lies within the structure (or lack thereof) of the MA Photography course itself.

Awful. In the third month of my MA Photography course, I approached my course leaders with my thoughts and feelings about the lack of course direction. In short, I was reprimanded by the course leader and assistant course leader. They were simply not interested. They were entirely dismissive. I was shocked and appalled by this response.

Currently the uni has offered me very little, to almost none, help into finding work placements. I want to apply but do not know if there are certain procedures I must go down.

I like least: The organisation, the course doesn’t feel well put together I like most: Live projects and guest lectures. Giving a real insight into the real world.

Never been involved with it, the range of societies is very small. The union itself doesn’t play a big role in the university, if they do it’s not noticed. Most the student union team are employees of the uni in full time contracts, that’s probably why.

Pretty good

Amazing, it’s London

Poor, next to none

The support is terrible, don’t want to help just want their money. They don’t understand mental health issues, or any health issues the stories I’ve heard are horrifying.

Having employment workshops to increase my chances of employability as well as student support services to help improve my resume.

Most- Fieldtrips abroad to make learning more fun Least- Lectures consisting of lecturers reading off the presentation slides

Plenty of things to get involved in

Very good range of university facilities for students

City life is amazing, very social people and so many places to visit

Clubs in london are great, there are so many well known clubs for student parties.

good level of support with chances to meet up with tutors for extra support

We get personalised e-mails from the career advisor about opportunities around London or abroad

I like the content and the fact that they don't rely on textbooks that much. The least thing I like about is the bi-weekly quizzez which are compulsory towards our degree.

I'm not quite involved as I used my first term to figure my way around the University before I commit myself to something that should be giving me an awesome experience.

Extremely good. Really rare for Universities to give out free printing credits as well as readily available online help.

The city around Middlesex is quite a peaceful one. It isn't in the city so it doesn't have a buzz or noise to give a city feeling. Regardless it suits my personality as well as gives off a familiarity due to the fact I was brought up in a similar environment.

Haven't joined any yet due to the fact that they start quite late and I live home hence why I can't attend any.

Academically I would say it's average due to the fact that Professors are readily available to help you out. Personally, I'm not sure what to think about it due to the fact I never needed those sorts of help.

Middlesex support it student by sending newsletters about job opportunities, career scheme and other relevant email about job. open days are also a place where I have seen job opportunities been marketed. Job opportunities are also available on the school website and I often receive email about job opportunities

Middlesex uni is very organised as far as my experience of the course I am doing presently. the school placement is very detail and we often get other emails as a reminder of what we need to do and what are set in priority. Also, I enjoyed most of the lecture I receive and I feel engaged with the subjects been taught.

The course I am studying is very busy but in terms of my experience of it. student union has been very good and they connect with us.

very good as we have access to facility relevant to the department we are in.

feels good

I am not really club person but when I have been is very good depending on the music for me

very good and very supportive especially where I have struggled with things e.g. essay

My course involves 2 work placements during the 3 years which increases ny employability in the social carr field

The lectures can sometimes be too long and irrelevant to the topic

Student union tries very happy to host a variety of events throughout the year

Uni has a range of facilities specifically for fashion dance and design

Its london anymore to say?!

So many societies that host fun events

Good!

Very good

Very expensive

Very useful

good

The tutors provide good tasks in class to improve my skills and they even work on how students can perform well in there own careers, they help me to work hard to achieve my placements.

I like the way seminars are conducted and given tasks to work in class and ask for help from tutors. The least i like was the duration of lectures and theories like just reading out the slides.

Students union is doing a great job by providing various events and societies helping atudents from different parts of world to feel like in home.

Its a university accommodation called unite student halls in Wembley

They are good but i think they can be better like reducing food and sports costs in campus.

One of the best place to live in this world, nice environment, better people.

Societies are excellent giving opportunities for international students to find frds and providing home environments Club's can be better on there charges but they are good too.

I like practical part of my course, but lectures and seminars are a bit too long.

I know it exists, but I don't really understand the point of it and I have never been interested in geting involved.

The accommodation is very nice and modern, with everything you need for living. Wi-Fi signal is just sometimes lost, but staff say they are working to improve it.

Middlesex's facilities are impressively great, contemporary and amazing to use.

City life in London is very bustling and attractive at the same time.

Student support at Middlesex is quite good, especially from lecturers.

Through MDXWorks we can get all the help and advice we need

I'm studying Psychology (the behaviour of our mind) and Education (how we learn) and the very principle that we still do lectures and have to sit down for hours and watch someone talk about the subject and read off slides is incomprehensible especially since my course calls for so much more (it is studying the brain functions and how we learn). The Education part of my course is too small (2h per week) and for the moment is far too historical, very repetitive and too simple. Overall my course is too simple and basic when it could be so wonderfully interesting and eye-opening (without it being 3rd year material, although i'm sure we could do all three years in 1 year). I also wish that the two parts of my course were connected, I still can't believe they're not. It is Psychology WITH Education...

I don't get involved because I have no friends at uni, since I couldn't attend most of the fun events during freshers week because I was 17.

Very modern, beautiful, comfortable, and well-organised. The only negative aspects is technical things: the heater doesn't warm up the room because of the "security measure" that makes it so that it turns off when it reaches the desired temperature (which makes it insufficient to warm the room up and is rather stingy), a lot of shower doors don't close, the architecture of the room could be a lot better (space is used weirdly) and the corridors and doors and extremely loud which isn't very well thought out. But I love it!

Excellent.

The best! Well, it will be even better when I turn 18 and I can discover London by night.

The dance society is lovely, particularly the House dance class, the others are ok. They should have more classes. It's great that there are so many different societies. But I can't seem to get in touch with the Musical Theatre society which would be amazing to join

There are a lot of different opportunities and resources to better our work which is great. And Middlesex takes interest in our mental health which is so important, feels good and is greatly appreciated. Although I think there should be a lot more practical, hands-down work and interacting with other students as well as student-student advice and exchanging especially in my course.
