About the university

Middlesex University traces its history to 1878. It became Middlesex Polytechnic in 1973 and a university in 1992. Today it has a single London campus in Hendon, north London, plus campuses in Dubai and Mauritius.

The university is known for practical, career-focused courses in business, computing, law, psychology, health and the creative arts, and it has won three Queen's Anniversary Prizes. Students come from more than 120 countries.

For Indian students the main attractions are London living with campus halls, 2027/28 master's fees of about £19,600 to £20,600 for most courses, several start dates for business and law master's, and acceptance of Standard XII English in place of IELTS.
