Support for your learning

You’ll find Student Learning Assistants - experienced students from the years above - in your seminars, workshops and small group sessions if and when required. Their personal experience means they understand some of the challenges that you might face - hence, they can help you to learn.

Our Learning Resource Centre

Disability support

Middlesex University is committed to ensuring that disability does not create a barrier to participation in learning and teaching, facilities and services for existing and prospective students. Our facilities accommodate wheelchair users and ensure one can move around the campus without any difficulty. Our friendly and welcoming staff is always available to provide help and support.

We’ll help you deal with any financial, practical, or legal difficulties that come up when you’re studying at Middlesex. We can give you one-to-one support through appointments, phone calls and email as well as online and printed information and workshops. Our advice is confidential, and we won’t judge you.

If we can't help you, we will point you in the direction of external services that can.

Counselling

Our free confidential counselling service can help you with personal, practical, academic, or financial issues. We make sure that you have the information and advice you need to help to you through these times.

We give one-to-one counselling sessions and group workshops. We will also give consultations and refer you to other specialists.

Visa support

Laws in Mauritius require all non-national students to obtain a residence permit (study visa) for the duration of their studies. Middlesex University Mauritius assists students during the visa application process for studying on any of our academic programmes.

The procedure for applying for a residence permit cannot commence until you have accepted our Offer of Admission, cleared all academic conditions (if any) and paid your tuition fees. Once we receive all your documents, we will apply at the Passport and Immigration Office for a residence permit on your behalf. The process normally takes 10–20 days. You are advised to apply as early as possible if you require a residence permit.

Applying for a residence permit
