👗Middlesex University

London, UK

A London university with a distinctive fashion, business, computing and nursing mix — and family familiarity through its Dubai campus.

About Middlesex University

Middlesex University's main site is a single, purpose-built campus in Hendon, north London — a quieter, more residential setting than central London, with fast Underground access into the city. It's particularly known for fashion design and textiles, business and accounting, computing and cybersecurity, and nursing and midwifery, alongside solid criminology, psychology and law departments. Many GCC families already have some familiarity with the university through Middlesex University Dubai, which shares academic standards and can make the UK campus feel like a less unfamiliar choice. International tuition typically runs £17,000-£19,000.

Why students choose it

  • A distinctive combination of fashion, business, computing and nursing rarely found together elsewhere
  • Family familiarity through Middlesex University Dubai, easing the decision for GCC students
  • A single, self-contained Hendon campus that's easier to settle into than a scattered multi-site city university

🏆 Scholarships to look into

Informational only — scholarship amounts, deadlines and even which schemes are running change often (sometimes per intake), so treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee. Always confirm current details directly with the scholarship provider or Middlesex University's financial aid office.

Beyond government-level awards, most UK universities offer their own merit-based international scholarships — commonly a partial tuition reduction for strong A-Level/IB/IGCSE results, sometimes auto-considered from your application and sometimes requiring a short separate form.

  • Chevening Scholarships: UK government-funded, fully-funded, for one-year Master's study — highly competitive, open to students from eligible countries with leadership potential.
  • Commonwealth Scholarships: For citizens of Commonwealth countries, mainly postgraduate, funded by the UK government.
  • University international merit scholarships: Widely offered across Russell Group and other universities — typically a tuition-fee reduction for high entry grades, often renewable each year of study.

Chevening and Commonwealth are postgraduate-only. For undergraduate applicants, the university-specific merit scholarships are usually the more relevant route.
