When Middlesex University Dubai opened its doors over a decade ago, it had a key objective - to transform the education sector and offer outstanding academic programmes combined with a student experience unlike any other. In line with the country's strong leadership vision of the 'Education and Vision 2021', Middlesex University Dubai ?is a proud contributor, ?boasting a strong legacy of academic expertise.

In addition to its excellent academic curriculum, students are able to benefit from extra-curricular development through industry networking and partnerships with leading companies within the UAE, real-life work projects, field trips, placement opportunities, and a platform to discover, hone, and present their talent and passion. It also provides the option to transfer to the University's home campus in London (UK), to gain a real international student experience.

Through the University's diverse departments, students who choose to study at Middlesex University Dubai are able to choose from a broad spectrum of Undergraduate programmes including Business Management, Marketing, Accounting and Finance, Hospitality, Tourism, Law, Psychology, Journalism, Media, Graphic Design, Film, Computer Engineering, IT, and many more.
