Middlesex University

Middlesex University is based in North London and consists of four urban campuses. Middlesex is now one of the largest and most ethnically diverse institutions in London, enrolling approximately 25,000 students. It is structured much like the University of Westminster in that it has multiple campuses and offers a multi-disciplinary curriculum. Students enrolled at Middlesex come from over 120 countries so Skidmore students will likely befriend and study alongside others from around the world.

Academics

Skidmore students should be able to find an abundance of courses in their desired discipline. There are 25 departments at Middlesex in which students can take coursework including Business, Creative & Media Writing, Criminology, Dance, Design, Development, Drama & Theatre, English, Fine Art, Health and Social Sciences, Journalism, Media Arts, Music, Philosophy, Politics, Psychology, Religion and Sociology. Students can take courses across the curriculum, with the exception of Theatre and Dance students who must take all of their coursework in those designated departments. For details on available courses for study abroad students, please refer to http://www.mdx.ac.uk/courses/short/study-abroad/course-directory/index.aspx. To enhance their living and learning experience in London, internships are also available for interested students.

Housing

All residence halls offer a single bedroom with a shared kitchen facility for students to use for their meals. Students will also have internet access. Middlesex is largely a commuter school so only about 1,350 students reside in university housing. Housing is guaranteed for study abroad students.

Program Dates

The program at Middlesex, offered only in the SPRING SEMESTER, runs from early January through mid-May.
