While this diversity and size makes
Middlesex one of the largest universities in the UK, each of its seven
campuses is small enough to be friendly and welcoming. Courses are credit –
rated and taught in semesters. The flexible modular academic structure means
students can choose a specialist study programme to satisfy the requirements
of a professional body or devise their own major/ minor combinations to suit
personal interests and aspirations. Middlesex has some 40 research centres
and their academic staffs have worked as consultant with more than 1000
organisation worldwide.
Likewise students transferring from other
institutions of higher education receive full credit for appropriate
studies.
