Middlesex University Dubai held its 6th Annual Student Research Symposium on 5 November 2017. Dame Janet Ritterman, Chancellor of Middlesex University and Professor Tim Blackman, Vice Chancellor of Middlesex University were on campus to discuss the fantastic research undertaken by both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
