Overview
 The origins of Middlesex University date back to the late 1880s and it is now widely regarded as an excellent international provider of higher education, with outstanding academic credentials an highly employable and successful graduates. Based in north London, the University attracts more than 22,000 students, of whom 5,500 are international students from over 130 countries. The University also has partnerships with over 300 institutions worldwide and has recently established its first overseas campus, situated in Dubai within the prestigious Knowledge Village complex.While this diversity and size makes Middlesex one of the largest universities in the UK, all of its campuses are small enough to be friendly and welcoming.
