Middlesex University (MDX) Dubai is the first overseas campus of the internationally renowned Middlesex University in London. The university, which opened in 2004, has grown into the largest British KHDA higher education institution in Dubai.
The Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) of the UAE’s Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHESR) granted MDX Dubai its initial institutional licence on 9 January 2025.
The university offers foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in a wide variety of subject areas, and was the first university to offer a face-to-face LLB (British Qualifying Law) Degree.
MDX Dubai is a global university committed to meeting the needs and ambitions of a culturally and internationally diverse range of students by providing challenging academic programmes underpinned by innovative research, grants and professional practice.
MDX Dubai prepares its students to be professional, skilled individuals fit for the modern world, committed to lifelong learning and able to contribute to the communities in which they live and work.

As well as having all the advantages associated with being a British university, Dubai campus students can benefit from all the opportunities afforded by a rapidly developing modern city in the heart of the Middle East, while experiencing the diverse nationalities and cultures that make up the population of Dubai. The Campus is located in Dubai Knowledge Park, occupying spacious classrooms and study areas within four buildings. Dubai Knowledge Park itself was set up in 2003 for international institutions that promote learning. Middlesex University Dubai students, therefore, have the opportunity to participate in a much wider student community.
