Middlesex University Dubai aims to be a global university and build on its outstanding reputation as an international provider of a world-class British higher education in the heart of Dubai, one of the most dynamic and innovative cities in the world. Middlesex Dubai is a major recruiter of international students, and we have representatives across the world who work to help prospective students with every aspect of their higher education planning and applications.

Middlesex University’s three global campuses – London, Dubai and Mauritius - also work in partnership with some of the most prestigious international universities and other educational providers, and our programmes taught in more than 100 institutions the world over.

Over the next decade the University intends to open more Middlesex campuses outside the UK and continue to develop and provide – by working in partnership with fellow educational institutions and top global industry change-makers – an outstanding higher education and unrivalled student experience. 

Middlesex University Dubai is the first overseas campus of the renowned Middlesex University based in London, UK. The University’s first learning space in Dubai opened at Dubai Knowledge Park (DKP) in 2005 and has over 5,600+ students studying from more than 120+ nationalities. It is an exciting, diverse and multicultural campus that prides itself on providing a student experience with a difference.

As a testament to the growth and success of its thriving international student community, the University opened a second campus location in Dubai International Academic City (DIAC) in September 2021. The University is the largest British KHDA higher education institution for total student enrolments in Dubai, according to KHDA Open Data released in May 2023.

The University offers a wide range of foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across both locations, including: Accounting and Finance, Business Management, Marketing, Computer Engineering, IT, Data Science, Robotics, Education, Psychology, Law, Digital Media, Film, Creative Writing and Journalism, Fashion Design, Graphic Design, and many more.

As well as having all the advantages associated with being a world-class British university, students at both Middlesex University Dubai campuses can benefit from all the opportunities afforded by a rapidly-developing modern city in the heart of the Middle East, while experiencing the diverse nationalities and cultures that make up the population of Dubai.
