MSc in Public Health - Batch of 2025

Excellent university and Excellent course

Tips: What students should know before joining is that London life costs more than people expect. Rent, transportation and daily essentials so budgeting is a must. You will see a drastic cultural change, and you have to leave your old habits behind. Yes, I have £2000 in a scholarship from the university. And it is one of the best universities in the UK

Learning and growing at middlesex

Tips: If you're heading to Middlesex in London, just be ready for the fact that the learning style is completely independent. Don't expect to be spoon-fed; you really have to take control of your own research and deadlines. Also, do not sleep on the university support services—they’re there for a reason, and they can actually help you sort out your logistics if you get stuck. Moving to a whole new country is definitely a shock to the system. It took me a few weeks just to settle in, get my head around the UK education system, and stop feeling like a tourist, but it gets better. I was lucky enough to snag a £4,000 scholarship during the admission process, which was a massive relief because it knocked a solid chunk off my tuition fees. Honestly, I’m really glad I made the jump. I’m happy with the course, the campus vibe at Hendon, and the whole UK experience. It’s been challenging, but I definitely don't regret choosing this path.

Good college to get into UK

Tips: Good college, but the fee is high and the job market is bad. But if the focus is studying and academic excellence, then it is a very good choice. Good all-round development is guaranteed, and it's definitely a fun place to study. I enjoyed my time here except for the job hunting part. But you cannot really blame the uni for it, though.

Likes (Safety): Very good safe culture and campus. Rules are not too strict but strict enough to make everyone feel welcome and safe. There is security throughout the campus. Haven't even seen one incident of bullying or anything mean happen in my 3 years here. So yeah, pretty safe.

Dislikes (Internships): The job market is very bad at the moment, so basically it doesn't exist. It's hard to find anything, and placements do not really help you get anything much other than help with CV and LinkedIn optimization. It is hard to judge the uni on it as the market is tough everywhere.

MSc in International Business Management - Batch of 2026

4.6

A diverse learning experience with good career opportunities at Middlesex university Hendon

Tips: If you're eyeing the International Business Management course at MDX Hendon, you need to actually dig into the module breakdowns and tuition costs before you commit. Don't just sit around expecting a job to find you either; the second you get to campus, you need to start badgering the university career services to help you hunt down internships and part-time shifts before everyone else snaps them up. Moving over to the UK went pretty smoothly for me, but it definitely takes some time to adjust to the constantly gray weather, the heavy focus on self-directed learning, and the British academic writing style. Honestly though, I’m really glad I chose this program. Living and studying in London has given me a lot of actual, practical business knowledge and completely forced me out of my shell, which did wonders for my confidence and professional communication skills.

Likes (Indian Food): I rated food options for my country five because there are many Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and South Asian restaurants near Middlesex University Hendon. You can easily find Indian groceries and spices in the nearby supermarket as well. A meal in an Indian restaurant costs around £10-£20. While takeaways are £6 to £10. I mostly prefer cooking at home every day to be healthier and save my money by not eating out often. I occasionally eat out in the restaurants. So I do have a good balance with home food and food out.

Dislikes (Part time work): I rated part-time work high, as there are good opportunities on and off campus. But the combination may be high in the initial days of the academic year. Many students find jobs in restaurants, cafes, warehouses, and some supermarkets. The average pay per hour is £312-£315. It depends on the role and employers. Overall, in my opinion, part-time work really helps the student gain experience and balance their living expenses.

BA Honours in Business Management - Batch of 2028

4.2

Great place to learn and grow.

Tips: If you're heading to Middlesex, the biggest reality check is that nobody is going to hold your hand through the academics—it’s heavily focused on you figuring things out independently. You also need to lock down a strict budget immediately because London living costs will absolutely drain your bank account, and you want to start hunting for part-time work the literal second you land since competition for shifts is insane. My own transition was a bit of a shock to the system for the first few weeks, mostly just trying to adapt to the constant British rain, the completely different grading system, and the overall culture shock. What massive helped me out was bagging a £2,500 scholarship during my application, which got knocked straight off my tuition fees and took a huge chunk of financial pressure off my shoulders. Honestly, I'm really happy with how everything turned out. The course and the whole UK experience have forced me to grow up a lot, both as a person and academically.

Likes (Safety): I gave safety a 5 because I’ve genuinely never felt unsafe during my time at Middlesex or while hanging around the Hendon area. The campus has solid security everywhere you look—there's always guards on duty 24/7, plenty of cameras, and you need secure access cards to even get into the university buildings and student accommodation. Plus, the paths around campus are really well-lit at night, which makes a huge difference. The whole student vibe is incredibly welcoming and international, so you feel right at home pretty quickly. Getting to and from campus is a breeze too, since the transport links are right there, and I've honestly never run into any dodgy situations or negative incidents since moving to London. People around here are surprisingly helpful if you ever need directions. Obviously, it's a massive city, so you still need to keep your wits about you and keep an eye on your surroundings, especially if you're traveling late at night. But overall, MDX gives you a really secure bubble to live and study in.

Dislikes (Part time work): I gave part-time work a 3 because trying to land an on-campus gig at Middlesex is a massive gamble. They do have roles like student ambassadors or learning assistants, but there are only a handful of slots and practically the entire student body applies for them. It takes forever to actually get one. If you look off-campus in London, there are tons of options in retail, cafes, or warehouse work, but the competition is still fierce. Most managers out here expect you to have experience already or be completely flexible with your shifts. On a student visa, you're strictly capped at 20 hours a week during term time. You can definitely balance the work with your classes if you manage your time right, and you're usually looking at around £13 to £15 an hour. But actually finding the right job that fits your timetable is anything but easy, which is why it's a solid 3 for me.
