Middlesex University is a university in North London, England, formed in 1973 as an amalgamation of three smaller higher education establishments, dating back as far as 1878.
The University is spread across 5 sites and is colloquially known as the 'University of the North Circular' due to their locations near to the major ring road. The five sites are: Tottenham (humanities and cultural studies, business studies, law, sociology, women's studies), Hendon (Middlesex University Business School and computing science), Enfield (social sciences), Cat Hill (art and design, cinematics and electronic arts) and Trent Park (performing arts, teacher education, product design and engineering, biological science). Additionally, the School of Health and Social Sciences occupies the Archway and Hospitals campuses operating from four sites at the Royal Free Hospital, Whittington (jointly owned and in development with University College London), Chase Farm and North Middlesex hospitals.
Some of the campuses are important architecturally, especially Trent Park, a palatial mansion set in a 4 km² country park. The Cat Hill Campus also houses MoDA, the University's Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture.
Middlesex University has an extremely diverse student body, over 20,000 strong, with a large proportion of overseas students. It has been awarded the Queen's Anniversary Prizes for Further and Higher Education three times, and has been named as one of Britain's Top 20 Universities in the 2004 Guardian University League Tables.
