10 Reasons Why Middlesex University Dubai

Step out of your lectures and discover a student experience with a difference. Students can get involved in a wide range of sporting activities, explore new hobbies with our Student Social Clubs, as well as take part in field-trips, and both national and international competitions.

Middlesex University Dubai has over 3,200 students from more than 100 nationalities, and has four campuses worldwide: Dubai, London, Malta and Mauritius. Our students are able to learn to work in a multicultural environment, and benefit from the insights and viewpoints of an internationally diverse range of students and faculty – an invaluable asset for any graduate.

We provide students with the opportunity to transfer their studies to one of our overseas campuses within their second year of study, enabling them to explore a new culture and build overseas contacts whilst benefiting from the same high quality teaching they would experience here.  

The University has developed a strong research culture and many of our academic faculty have been recognised internationally as leaders in their fields, and have been appointed to editorial boards, executive boards of international organisations, and received prestigious research awards. Our students are able to benefit from opportunities to attend and participate at high profile research conferences, events and panels organised both on and off campus, and gain valuable industry contacts through the University’s connections.

Middlesex University Dubai provides Student Visas for all non-national students studying on any of our academic programmes, and our dedicated team ensures this process is carried out as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

We understand the importance of rewarding students for their current and ongoing achievements, and our Scholarships & Grants offer financial reward to new students, and range from Academic Excellence Scholarships to Sporting Excellence Scholarships and Corporate Study Grants.

Postgraduate classes are held in the evening, Sunday – Thursday between 6:30pm to 9:30pm – enabling students to balance their career and their studies.

What really sets Dubai apart is its ability to attract the world’s top companies, providing plenty of opportunities for graduates to fast track their career in a multitude of professional roles. We have extensive connections with local and international organisations, allowing students to gain insight from and network with professionals at the top of their game. Many of our programmes are also accredited and recognised by leading professional bodies, meaning our graduates may also gain exemptions from examinations or specific units of professional qualifications.
