Hello,

it varies per year, but usually there are 20-30 students per stream, and the streams rotate between placement and teaching.
In terms of male students, we have some :smile:

Not as many as females but we welcome diversity! So, we have many lecturers, technicians and support staff that are both males and females :smile:

We are running an open day on the 7th of October, if you would like to have a look at our amazing facilities and have a chat with current students and staff.
You can book your place here: www.mdx.ac.uk/opendays

Have a great day

Hi,

I'm interested in studying economics at Middlesex university. Firstly, I'm unsure whether to choose BA or BSC economics. Also, I'm unsure whether it's possible to study a modern foreign language at the university (that isn't part of the course).

Thanks very much for giving me the option to ask these questions, I hope the questions I've asked can be answered.

All the best

Hello!

Nice to hear that you are interested in studying Economics at Middlesex :smile:

The main difference between the two courses is that BSc focuses on the mathematical side of economics. However, if in the BA you take up mathematics and econometrics, there won't be much difference with the BSc.

You can have a look at this video about our economics courses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVp2VrmM0wc

We are also running an open day on the 22nd of November, if you want to have a look at the campus, meet current students and staff :smile:

Here is the link to book: www.mdx.ac/opendays

Yes, you can learn another language while you study here :smile:

We pair students with students, so you meet friends and learn another language :smile:

Have a look at this unihub.ac.uk/language

Let me know if you have any other question!
Have a lovely day
