| About Middlesex University: | Middlesex was awarded the title 'University' by Royal Assent in 1992. The University is now widely regarded as an excellent international provider of higher education with outstanding academic credentials and highly employable graduates.
Teaching at Middlesex University has achieved the highest possible ratings from the UK Quality Assurance Agency, and the University's research credentials are continually improving with key strengths in philosophy, history of art, dance, criminology, computing, environmental studies, business, nursing and biomedical sciences.
Middlesex University's history began in the late 19th century, when two educational institutions opened their doors in north London - St Katherine's College and the Hornsey School of Arts and Crafts. Both became part of Middlesex Polytechnic, which was founded in 1973.
Middlesex University has four campuses in north London - Hendon, Cat Hill, Trent Park and Archway.
The Hendon campus is the University's flagship campus, at which Middlesex University Business School, the School of Health and Social Sciences and the School of Engineering and Information Sciences are based. A multimillion-pound redevelopment of the campus has made it one of London's finest learning and research centres, and the newly built Hatchcroft building, which features state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities and laboratories, has been awarded 'excellent' status for its sustainable construction by the Building Research Establishment. The nearest Underground Station is Hendon Central on the Northern Line, approximately 35 minutes from Central London.
The Cat Hill campus is the University's specialist centre for art and design. The School of Arts and Education's courses in art, design, fashion, textiles, fine art, graphics and media arts are taught here, and the purpose-built art and design facilities have been rated by students as the best in London. The nearest Underground Station is Cockfosters on the Piccadilly line, approximately 40 minutes from Central London.
Set amongst a picturesque landscape of lakes, woods and country walks, Middlesex University's Trent Park campus is a vibrant, lively and inspiring place to study. The School of Arts and Education's courses in dance, drama, performing arts, English language and literature, media, culture and communication, music, theatre arts, languages, translation studies, philosophy, product design, teaching and education are taught here. The original mansion house is Grade II listed and the site is designated as a green belt. The grounds are open to the public. The nearest Underground Station is Oakwood on the Piccadilly line, approximately 40 minutes from Central London.
Archway is Middlesex University's specialist healthcare campus, and is adjacent to the University's teaching facilities at the Whittington hospital. Nursing, midwifery, complementary health, sport science and social work students are able to combine their academic study with hands-on clinical practice here and at other London hospitals.
