[7] From the 1990s, the university began to develop its international presence with their first overseas regional office in Kuala Lumpur.

[21] In 2003, the previous "M" logo was replaced with a new red-coloured wavy line intended to express a flexible and responsive approach to the needs of students.

In late 2005 it decided to stop offering history courses in an attempt to reduce a £10 million deficit.

[25] Since 2000, Middlesex has embarked on a strategy to achieve "fewer, better campuses" to reduce costs and improve its long-term sustainability.

[27] The university also closed the Corporate Services building at the North London Business Park and consolidated most of the functions carried out on these sites at Hendon, where it aims to accommodate nearly all its London-based teaching.

[30] An international campaign of support was quickly organised, with figures such as Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Jean-Luc Nancy, Slavoj Žižek, Étienne Balibar, David Harvey, Isabelle Stengers expressing their strong disapproval.

[32] In early June 2010 it was announced that the postgraduate component, the CRMEP, was to be transferred to Kingston University, but the undergraduate programme was still to be phased out.

All older campuses were closed – Bounds Green (2003), Tottenham (2005), Enfield (2008), Cat Hill (2011), Trent Park (2012), and Archway and Hospitals (2013) – while Hendon received substantial investment in facilities and infrastructure to accommodate new students and programmes.

This was extended in 1955 and in 1969 when a new refectory and engineering block were added, and later expanded using a number of London Borough of Barnet office buildings including the current Town Hall and Library.

[36] The main College Building was refurbished in a £40 million project which included the addition of a glass-covered central courtyard forming Ricketts Quadrangle.

[37] Its design incorporates sustainable technologies including solar panels, a bio-diverse green roof, and living walls irrigated by rainwater harvesting.

[38] Other specialist facilities include bioscience and biomedical science laboratories, nursing and midwifery simulation labs.

In October 2013, the university opened a new sports science facility at Allianz Park (the new stadium of Saracens Rugby Club) in Hendon.

It features a Learning Resource Centre, open access and computer suites, and dining and social spaces as well as on-site accommodation.

Lecturing academics based at the Mauritius campus work in partnership with the academic programme team based at Middlesex's London campuses to ensure the quality standards of the UK programmes are maintained in curriculum delivery, teaching styles and assessment.

On 24 January 2007 the university inaugurated a new Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) Mental Health and Social Work based at Archway campus.

[54] This funding enabled the university to establish new teaching facilities at its Archway campus with the aim of creating an academic community of mental health and social work practitioners, students and faculty in one location.

[57] The university had ambitious plans to redevelop the site, but they were twice rejected by Enfield Council on environmental concerns.

[58][59] The Trent Park site was purchased by a developer who received the necessary permits in October 2017 to build 262 residential units.

The Flood Hazard Research Centre is still part of Middlesex University but is now based at North London Business Park in New Southgate.

The name change was a result of the 1964 union of St Katharine's with Berridge House, Hampstead, on the Tottenham site.

The college was highly regarded while part of the University of London, but its reputation suffered almost immediately once it was incorporated into Middlesex.

The buildings, previously occupied by the university, were demolished and the site is now the home of the Haringey Sixth Form College.

[64] Bounds Green campus, home to the Engineering and Information Technology schools was sold to a residential developer in December 2003.

In 1901, Joseph Wilson Swan bought a house in Ponders End High Street that became the Ediswan Institute.

By 1937 The Ponders End Technical Institute was growing so rapidly that it was decided to build a new college across the road in Queensway.

In March 2011 Cat Hill campus was sold to the L&Q housing association as part of the university's plans to centralise its courses in Hendon.

[citation needed] Middlesex's research covers a wide spectrum of subjects across its three faculties including Art and Design, Education, Human, Social and Economic Geography, Law, Music, Professional Practice, Software Engineering and Algorithms.

[74] Until recently the number of students at the university has been declining fast, hitting a four-year low of 21,350 in the academic year of 2008–2009.

In 1981, Union president Nick Harvey joined protests outside Rochester Row police station after six Irish students were detained without charge under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.
