High-performing graduates from Middlesex University Dubai's IAA-accredited BA (Hons) Advertising, PR and Branding programme were recognised this week at a special ceremony held within its new campus building in Dubai Knowledge Park. Alumni from the graduating classes of 2021 and 2022 were presented certificates from the International Advertising Association (IAA) in recognition of their performance during their time as undergraduates of Dubai's largest British university.

Middlesex's Media students engage with industry and build their practical experience from the beginning of their studies, through guest speakers, industry trips, work experience and internships. Current graduates are currently pursuing further study or working for a range of prominent media companies in the UAE and around the world, including ITP Media Group and Houbara Communications.
