TU Study Abroad Exchange Programs in the U.K.

Middlesex University, London, England

Middlesex University is one of the most popular universities in the UK for international students. While its diversity and size make it one of the largest universities in the UK, each of its three campuses is small enough to be friendly and welcoming - students benefit from big campus facilities with a small campus feel.

Middlesex University is located just outside the UK capital of London - one of the liveliest and most cosmopolitan cities in the world and home to more than 7.7 million residents. With music and sports venues, art galleries, theaters, museums, and shops, this city has something for everyone. It takes approximately 30-40 minutes to reach the city from the university by underground and open countryside and beaches are only a train ride away. Each campus is served by a combination of bus, underground and suburban rail services.
