Great opportunity orientated

Tips: Know your campus, because if you are having the DIAC campus, then that campus is far away from the main city, and the accommodation provided by the university is good, but the area is not that good. Everything is expensive and far from the main Dubai area, so try to get Dubai Knowledge Park as your campus and get your accommodation done in metro line, it will save a lot of time and money. Taxis are too expensive.

Likes (Value for money): The quality which they provide is excellent. Actually, they are too much sports centric if you love sports, then it's best for you. They actually provide everything, good food options near the DKP campus and other facilities too. Choose the DKP campus. DIAC is too small.

Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time options are not available in Dubai. The job market is not that great in Dubai, everything goes on referrals. If you are from a marketing and sales background, you will get hired quickly, but for finance and taxation, it will take time, prior experience matters a lot.

A good place to learn and grow.

Tips: On the offer letter everything is mentioned regarding the fee structure. Also, we have a convocation before classes that is for one week. Our student ID has been sent. Before that, they also told us to download the university app and log in with that student ID that is called MISIS no. along with the password also.

Likes (Safety): Dubai is the best and well-known for its safety in every way. Their world also has facilities, and comfort is well known in the world. UAE LEADERS have this vision to create the safest country among all, and they are so good AT IT. Because of law and strict order, people are afraid, and they follow it also.

Dislikes (Part time work): I rated 3 out of 5 for part-time work because in my experience, Dubai doesn't have a strong part-time work culture for students; there are opportunities but not as in countries like the UK, Australia, Europe, etc. On-campus jobs are quite limited and usually require tasks for UAE experience of at least 1 year.

MSc in Marketing Communications & Brand Management - Batch of 2025

love the uni honestly, I wish I could've participated more in the extra curriculars.

Tips: Students are expected to be proactive, and one should not come in a restrictive and reserved mindset. Be open to challenges and opportunities. And make sure you GRAB IT. And I must say that please come with confidence and courage in your mind and heart, as you'll need it here.

Likes (Part time work): Part-time work gets a high rating because finding shifts in Dubai is genuinely easy if you're willing to hustle. But make no mistake—it's an absolute grind. Balancing job hours with lectures, assignments, cooking meals, and commuting back and forth across Dubai will test your limits. It gets even tougher if you stay in private student housing like Myriad, where they charge insane rates—around 3,000 AED per person for shared rooms that don't even include private kitchens or laundry. Still, the job market here offers endless opportunities to earn and build work experience while studying, which makes the crazy schedule worth it in the end.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I rated Indian food low because finding strict Jain vegetarian options on campus is practically impossible. The food court in Dubai Knowledge Park has decent general food, but my choices at MDX were stripped down to plain fries, black coffee, or maybe two basic veggie burgers. When you're exhausted after a long day of lectures, having zero proper Jain meals on campus is beyond frustrating. I ended up having to pack food from home or order specifically from places in Karama.

I am so happy to be the part of MDX Dubai. All the faculties are very friendly and approachable.

Tips: If you're looking at Middlesex Dubai, you need to go in with your eyes wide open about how the system works here. First off, forget the idea of traditional university placements where companies just hand you a job on a silver platter before graduation. MDX has great career fairs and solid networking events, but you have to be incredibly aggressive about hunting down internships on your own if you want to stand a chance in Dubai's brutal corporate market. On the plus side, they are pretty generous with academic and international grants, so make sure you apply early to lock down a scholarship before funding dries up. The actual classes and overall program vibe are amazing, but your daily stress is going to come down to logistics. The campus is in Knowledge Park, but most student housing is miles away in places like Al Ruwayyah or Academic City. The university does provide free shuttle buses, but if you miss one, you're stuck relying on the Metro and the student Blue Nol card to get around. Figure out your housing and transport budget before you pay your deposit, because living expenses out here can catch you completely off guard.

A great university experience with diverse opportunities

Tips: Middlesex University has a diverse and welcoming environment, making it easy for international students to settle in easily. I did not experience any major cultural shift because students come from many different countries and backgrounds. I am satisfied with the university, my course and studying in Dubai because of quality of education .

Likes (Student Life): Most of my day is basically just a mix of running to classes, hanging out, and catching up with friends from all over the place. The uni constantly puts on random stuff like cultural nights and sports events, and I always try to show up if I’m free. Plus, there are a ton of student clubs you can join. It makes it super easy to meet people and actually gives you a life outside of your degree.

Dislikes (Part time work): MDX offers a lot of on-campus job opportunities. They have student vacancy portals where they post jobs regularly, and you can apply for the jobs from there. The workload is generally manageable alongside studies if you plan your time well. I don't currently have any idea about the payout of part-time work.
