Great flexibility to design your course. Would like more number of teaching hours.
My Conducting teacher, Charlotte is wonderful. This is exactly what I was looking to learn. Could receive more opportunities.
Super convenient to have it across the university. A lot of bus stops around, good connectivity. Tube station is 15-minute walk away but that's not bad. Rooms are quite small but it's okay as a university student.
As a second-year Sport Rehab student at Middlesex University, my experience has been rewarding. The university stands out for its exceptional student support, creating an environment conducive to academic and personal growth. However, managing time becomes crucial, especially for students residing in the accommodation, where the diverse international community fosters numerous friendships.
One of the highlights of the course is the strong emphasis on practical application. The program integrates theoretical knowledge with hands-on experiences, allowing students to develop essential skills applicable to the field of Sport Rehab. In certain instances, there have been challenges with communication, particularly regarding changes in schedules or important announcements. Improved communication channels could contribute to a smoother overall experience.
Great place to meet new friends
As I am currently in my 3rd year at Middlesex University, I have experienced many great milestones. Having amazing teachers which have been able to push me to do better in terms of critically thinking and facilitating a safe learning environment where we feel heard and where we can collaborate with our peers to come up on ideas with campaigns and how this would be so similar to doing this at a real life job. From 2nd year, they also incorporate careers sessions where we talk about graduate competencies, how to deal with the different assessments. Apart from this, Middlesex University ensures that we as students are well taken care of especially with these times we are living in. The wellbeing team has been really helpful. I am so grateful with the space they have given us to flourish and prepare for the real world.
The course is face to face but is really done in a way to encourage participation and real life working scenarios. I love how the content is current with social media trends, and the teachers have worked in the industry for years.
Middlesex University is a great place to study due to its diverse academic programs, dedicated faculty, and modern facilities. The university fosters a vibrant and inclusive learning environment, promoting both personal and academic growth. The campus is equipped with state-of-the-art resources, enhancing the overall student experience.
In the International Business Management course at Middlesex University, the blend of theoretical and practical aspects stands out positively. The curriculum is well-structured, offering relevant insights into global business dynamics. Lecturers are engaging, providing valuable real-world perspectives. The course's international focus promotes a diverse learning environment, enriching discussions and collaborations. However, there's room for improvement in terms of more interactive online resources and increased industry collaborations. While the course content is comprehensive, enhancing practical exposure through case studies or guest lectures could further enhance its value
Middlesex University is awesome! The campus is modern and vibrant, and the facilities are top-notch. The professors are really supportive and knowledgeable, making the learning experience engaging and enjoyable. Plus, there are so many extracurricular activities and clubs to get involved in, which helps create a great sense of community. Overall, Middlesex University is a fantastic place to study and grow!

I am currently studying BA Dance at Middlesex University. The atmosphere at the University is welcoming, friendly and encouraging. There are lots of support mechanisms including the Learning Enhancement Team and MDX Works. The University has a strong sense for the environment and nature with many of the communal spaces being lit with natural lighting. The University also takes student feedback seriously with Student Voice leaders for every course.
I am currently studying BA Dance at Middlesex University. Because BA Dance is a practical subject the majority of the course is taught in person through sessions in the studio or lectures in the classroom. The course is quite intense and involves being on campus 4/5 days a week. The course syllabus includes many different topics including, Dance Science, Dance History, Dance Research, Choreography, Performance and Techniques such as, Cunningham, Humphrey, Graham, Release, Improvisation, Urban and Ballet. All the teachers for BA Dance are extremely helpful and considerate and take time to listen to students feedback. The Dance facilities are very well equipped with appropriate flooring, lighting, ballet bars and sound systems. Many are bookable for dance students when not in use for teaching.
It's a great uni, I would recommend it to everybody who wants to get the real student life experience and broaden their worldview!
My course offers study abroad opportunities, amazing facilites and equipment, and excellent teaching by BAFTA-winning tutors.
Living in the halls is the best way to make friends in uni!
Middlesex is a great place to study because it is one of the top London universities in the city. It's also one of the London universities that offer my specialised course as a Postgraduate degree (Medical Microbiology). The university has amazing facilities in order to assist you with your learning and career development here and I feel supported by the university and mental health and wellbeing team here. It's located in a good part of London (North west) which is easy to get to and is near a lot of easily accessible amenities and a journey to Central London is a short bus ride/train ride away. The university can be improved by changing their timetabling system, instead of signing in attendance on the mobile MDX app, attendance should be marked in manually by lecturers or student ID cards should be swiped on card readers for example. Sometimes the app crashes and a student cannot mark their attendance in for a session.
Best aspects of my course is that alongside learning the theory aspect of Biomedical Science/Medical Microbiology, you'll also learn key aspects and skills in the laboratory (e.g. aseptic technique, conducting a PCR and gel electrophoresis, 16s rRNA bacterial sequencing and identification and diagnostic tests) which are essential skills in industry and as a Biomedical Scientist. The course content is really interesting and the content touches on specific infectious agents and advanced studies on infectious diseases like bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites etc. which provides the specialist knowledge needed for a MSc. The course is now being taught in person with 2 days in, which allows time for independent study or working part-time. The tutor contact time is good also as we have been with our programme leader a lot this 1st semester and he is easily accessible by email or phone. Worst aspects of my course is the lack of organisation of timetabling. Sometimes we could have lectures/seminars in the wrong classes and this will not be updated on our timetable. Also, the use of statistical analysis software needed for data analysis and statistics on this programme. The software programme 'Minitab' is not supported for Apple MacBook users, and so this can be a setback for MacBook users as they can't carry out their data analysis for assignments. The software is only available for Windows PCs and laptops. The university needs to invest in the Mac version of Minitab for most students to use.
The best part about Middlesex University is undoubtedly the campus. Many students who have attended Middlesex will say this, and they truly have almost everything a student needs on their campus. Not only is it aesthetically beautiful, but the amenities available are great. We have a Greggs, Starbucks, Costa, and more. The gym on campus has awesome equipment and the prices are unbeatable. The library is 24 hours which is amazing when it comes to getting things done before assessments are due. There is also a bar on campus which is great for socializing and meeting people! Another thing that I love about Middlesex is the support available to international students. As an international student, coming from the United States, I can comfortably say the support that they give is truly incredible. They have a great group of staff dedicated to helping international students and because the international rate is so high, student have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world! The only thing that I would say could use some approvement is honestly the teaching style. I have heard this from a plethora of students on campus, and the responses do differ between courses. I have found that many people say that tutors will over-explain topics that are easy to understand, then 'under-explain' topics that can be harder to grasp. This has been the source of many complaints I have heard about the university: students don't feel like they are learning much. In my course, which is Journalism and Creative Writing, I felt like I did not learn any new information that I didn't know before coming to university until the second year of my course. I have also heard that some of the courses are rather dated as far as materials and topics are concerned. I do not experience this is my course, however I have heard it in the business courses, IT/software courses, and others. Overall, Middlesex University is a great place to meet new people, learn, and develop as a person. The people and staff at Middlesex work really hard to make sure that everyone is having the best experience possible, and there is an amazing amount of support on campus to ensure this. The community is incredible and there are events and chances to meet people all the time. I highly recommend MDX!
The Journalism and Creative writing course at Middlesex offer students a modern look into the writing field. The duality of doing both Journalism and Creative Writing gives students a unique and all-encompassing set of skills. I would argue that this is one of the most transferrable degrees at Middlesex-- meaning that the skills you learn in this course can be transferred to a large number of different occupations and subjects. To illustrate this, I was able to advance at an unprecedented rate in my summer job selling solar panels. Because of my understanding of language, and how I can use language to articulate, I was able to advance at a much faster rate than anyone before or around me. I never expected that this degree would make me a great saleswoman, but it truly did. The head of the program, Ariel Kahn, is absolutely incredible. I have never seen someone so dedicated to education and to making sure students are getting the most out of the degree. The rest of the teaching staff is also superb, with professors that have achieved magnificent things in their respective fields. For journalism, you will be taught by some of the best journalists in the UK, and it is clear that you are working with some of the 'top dogs' of the industry. You will learn some of the most surprising things and will leave the degree with a well-rounded understanding of what journalism is in the modern-day context. For creative writing, the professors work really hard to give you as much creative freedom as possible, and the growth that you will experience in your writing is incredible to watch. The teaching style is enthusiastic and creatively driven. You will find that you will not only learn more about the subjects at hand but you will also learn more about yourself through this course. It is such am amazing, and accepting environment to be in. The academics put acceptance at the forefront of all conversations, so you never feel as if you are being judged. Truly, everyone working on this course is magnificent!
My top tip for accommodation, particularly for females, is to be careful of your surroundings. I have heard (and seen) on multiple occasions that the security teams at Usher Hall will enter your room without permission. One instance, which happened to my neighbor, was when a security officer came into her room at 3 in the morning, while she was sleeping (only in undergarments). The next day, when she asked why they came into her room at 3am they told her that something was wrong with her fire alarm (for context, she knew that it was a security officer because she recognized them). She did not know this because her fire alarm was not going off, and there was not a concern for a fire being in her room. They tried knocking, but her obviously being freaked out by someone knocking (very loudly-- I should note that the knocking woke me up), did not answer the door. They ended up entering, and leaving almost immediately, without actually checking the fire alarm. I understand why they would want to go in and check, but here is the issue: they never said that they were security. Rather than stating that they were security and why they were there (I should also point out that the doors are thin enough for this to be heard of they did decide to state who they were) they knocked with such intensity that it sounded like a police force trying to raid her accommodation. Again, they never stated who they were or why they were there at 3 in the morning. Aside from that, I loved the location, and the ammonites were alright. The common rooms are great for socializing and the kitchens have a good amount of space. The bathroom and rooms are standard for UK accommodations and have a decent amount of space. Out of all the halls I personally believe that User is the best!
I really love the campus at this university its nice to be surrounded by loads of students all with different courses all on the same campus. The library is good it offers various different environments depending on how you lie to work and study. There is many food options from major UK food chains in the student union.
I really have enjoyed my time at middlesex University, and I believe it's a great place to study my course Interior Design. All the tutors have high-class industry experience and offer great support and feedback in reviews. You are able to complete a range of projects from residential to hospitality and workplace design. The facilities are very good with access to free printing and a material sample library. Also, due to being located in London you are surrounded by opportunities to go on site visits, galleries, museums and design events.
I think this accommodation is not very well laid out in my opinion there is no set flats just corridors full of rooms. This accommodation is not very well advertised at all its very unaware what u will get when u arrive. The rooms are outdated and quiete small. Positives of this accommodation is it is regularly cleaned by cleaning staff who clean all public areas like the kitchen etc. It's directly near campus less than 5 minute walk
