On receiving his doctorate Mr. Ravic said “Middlesex University is unique in its pioneering vision and global outlook. It is an international university with roots in London. This inclusive vision has always set it apart from other universities and firmly established its position as a leading British university for the future. I found myself in an ideal situation to partner with Middlesex University and be a part of this innovative vision.” “Thank you for extending me the great privilege of a Middlesex University Honorary Doctorate. I am deeply touched, and I accept this honour with a sense of immense pride and also humility”, added Mr. Ravic.
