Middlesex University Mauritius continues to be a beacon of academic excellence, offering students an enriching environment that goes beyond traditional learning. With a vibrant campus, diverse community, and outstanding support services, the university fosters a transformative experience for both students and staff. 

As the much-anticipated MDXperience Day approaches on March 8, 2024, we take a closer look at the voices that make Middlesex University Mauritius an exceptional place to study and work.

A Global Student Experience

Students from different parts of the world choose Middlesex University Mauritius for its inclusive and dynamic atmosphere. Haardik Gautam, a Cyber Security and Digital Forensics student from India, shares his journey:

“Studying in Mauritius as an international student is a fantastic experience. You become part of a diverse community and make friends from different cultures.”

Likewise, Mathieu Visenjoue, a Bachelor of Laws student, highlights the vibrancy of campus life:

“There are so many events you can get involved in. From insightful employability events to society activities or a good sports championship, the campus is a vibrant place to study.”

The Impact of Career Services

Middlesex University Mauritius is committed to equipping students with the skills and connections they need for successful careers. Janess Rujkoomar, an alumnus of the BA (Hons) Advertising, Public Relations, and Branding programme, recalls how the university helped shape his professional journey:

“One of the pivotal moments in my post-graduation journey was the Middlesex University Career Fair in 2021. I not only found employment but secured a full-time contract that kickstarted my professional journey. The support and resources provided by Middlesex University’s career services team played a crucial role in preparing us for such opportunities, and I am immensely grateful for their guidance and assistance.”

A Unique Study Experience Across Campuses

For students who take advantage of Middlesex University’s global network, the transition between campuses offers an exciting contrast. Ravish Ragavoodoo, a Business Management with Marketing graduate, shares his perspective:

“Choosing to study at Middlesex University Mauritius was one of the best decisions of my life. With an amazing campus and enriching learning experiences, Middlesex University is also an opportunity to live a life of independence, growth, and knowledge. As a transfer student from Mauritius to Hendon, it was a great contrast when it came to the UK student’s life, full of new experiences, support teams, and lecturers ready to assist us. The view from the Mauritian campus remains one of a kind.”
