MIDDLESEX UNIVERSITY

Middlesex is an outstanding institution. Taking students on life-changing journeys, we are confident of our role in an increasingly uncertain world. Our students learn through doing, making and through experience. By working on real-life projects, our students are able to apply their advanced knowledge to solve problems and gain key skills sought by top employers. We have three overseas campuses in Dubai, Mauritius and Malta. We take our commitment to our local London Borough of Barnet seriously, where we contribute £289 million annually through employment and reach into local businesses.

The department is very active in research and has been successful in attracting funding from both national and international agencies in addition to working with companies at home and abroad. Research is integrated with our teaching and students have an opportunity to be introduced to emerging technology in these areas at both undergraduate and more specialist post-graduate levels of study.
