Middlesex University

Overview

The history of Middlesex University began in the late 1880s, when two educational institutions opened their doors in north London - St Katherine's College and the Hornsey School of Arts and Crafts. Both would become part of Middlesex Polytechnic, which was founded in 1973.
Middlesex University has one of the best research standings among modern universities in London and the innovation in education has been rewarded by three Queen’s Anniversary Prizes for Higher and Further Education. Middlesex University has also been awarded a Queen’s Award for Enterprise.
Middlesex University has also established its first overseas campus situated in Dubai situated within the prestigious Knowledge Village complex.
Middlesex University attracts more than 5,500 international students from over 130 countries worldwide making it one of the most international institutions on London. While this diversity and size makes Middlesex University one of the largest universities in the UK, each of its six London campuses is small enough to be friendly and welcoming.

The college was extended in 1955 and in 1969 a new refectory and engineering block (the Williams Building) was added. In 2004 The new Learning Resource Centre, The Sheppard Library opened on the site. Hendon also has a sports club, known as The Burroughs for students and staff which has one of the few real tennis courts in the UK. Middlesex University Business School, the School of Computing Science Home movie clipand the bulk of the School of Health and Social Science are located in Hendon.
The campus in Hendon is expanding dramatically over the next five to ten years using a number of London Borough of Barnet office buildings including the current Town Hall in The Burroughs as well as the construction of new buildings including a new state of the art Science Building which opens in September 2008. The research centres for biomedical science, risk and environmental sciences are based here. http://www.mdx.ac.uk/schools/hssc/research/centres/biomed/index.asp
