The course is releavnt with real world examples for when joining the workforce. The lecturers are passionate and actually genuinely interested in the students learning and want them to do well. The campus has a great vibe and feel.
I liked the easy to use platform, clear university information, course search, and helpful recommendations. It made exploring master’s options easier. More updated information about fees, scholarships, and admission requirements would be helpful. Overall, it was a useful and positive experience.
I began my studies at Middlesex University on a strong note and I am grateful to the tutors, who provided valuable insight and were always available whenever I had questions. However, I was truly dissatisfied with the programme structure. Several modules were skipped, leaving me feeling as though I had not been able to explore the material in the depth I would have liked. As students, we tried to voice these concerns, but we did not receive the answers or clarity we were hoping for. This left many of us confused about what to revise for exams and what to include in coursework. Even the lecturers acknowledged the issue, though it was ultimately out of their hands. Looking ahead to my postgraduate studies, I am determined to approach the experience differently. I am ready to put in the work and strive for excellence, because I see this as a defining chapter in my life—one I want to pursue wholeheartedly and remember with pride.
The Global Student Satisfaction Awards empower students across the globe to determine the best universities of 2025. Universities with a score above 4.0 (out of 5) in any of the 7 award categories, receive Badges of Excellence. Congratulations!
