Celebrating Milestones and Memories: A Tribute to Our Class of 2023 Graduates

Each student in this cohort followed a unique and fulfilling path; some studied business, accounting and finance, marketing, law, or technology, others were graduating in film, fashion, graphic design, psychology, or journalism. But one thing all these students have in common is the knowledge that they have what it takes to build a thriving, fruitful career in Dubai or beyond.

The Class of 2023 is the largest graduating cohort in Middlesex University Dubai history with four ceremonies split across two days. Two inspiring Honorary Graduates shared their wisdom and adventurous spirit with the audience, showcasing what their futures may hold for them. Welcoming thousands of parents and guests, it was an inspiring weekend to remember.

Now, the stage is set for prospective students to become the next success story.

TESTIMONIAL

“Middlesex University Dubai welcomed me 4 years ago as a Foundation student, and now I stand here with a quality UK Psychology degree. While my first year was marked by navigating the challenges of remote learning during the lockdown, the University fostered my personal growth by encouraging active volunteering as soon as it was possible. This led me to an internship with the marketing department in my third year, solidifying my career opportunities. Now, I am embarking on the exciting next chapter of my academic journey with a Master's degree in Strategic Marketing. This programme promises both intellectual challenges and opportunities for professional advancement, and I eagerly face the future with confidence and excitement for what is to come,” Shannara, BA Honours Psychology with Counselling Skills, Class of 2023.
