Virtual Pre-university workshops

Start your September off strong with our Virtual Pre-University Preparation Workshops!

The start of the academic year and the best time of your life is just a few weeks away! We are so excited to welcome you to Middlesex University Dubai for the start of your rewarding and exciting academic journey as a member of our student community.

We are hosting a series of virtual Pre-University Preparation Workshops that are completely free of charge to allow you to find out more about the services we offer, get to know our staff and faculty, and boost your skill set ahead of the start of the academic year so you can go into your first classes feeling confident and reassured.

Our Centre for Academic Success (CAS) and Library Team will be holding online Academic Enrichment sessions, and our dedicated Careers and Employability Services (CES) Team will be leading workshops to get you prepared for what lies ahead! Our Student Activities Team will be hosting fun and interactive sessions that will allow you to have some fun and get a glimpse into the social side of MDX too!

Postgraduate Programme Specific Sessions will be led by our Senior Faculty*, focusing on key academic and research skills you may need before beginning your programme.

Register through the form now, and we will send you the link before your session begins. See you online very soon! 

*Please note that for some students, attendance to the Postgraduate Workshops is mandatory for entry requirement purposes. Please check with your admissions counsellor to understand if this applies to you.
