Middlesex University Students' Union (MDXSU) exists to support you, represent you and help you make the most of your time at university.
Here at MDXSU we exist to support you, represent you, and help you to make the most of your time here.
We ensure your voice is heard on the issues you care about as well as giving you access to plenty of opportunities to meet new people, develop your skills, discover new talents and boost your employability.
Join a society, talk to us about your course or come along to our many events. MDXSU is central to your uni experience and we work to support all aspects of student life.
We'd love to hear from you! Whilst our offices are currently closed, we’re still here to support and represent you. Email us or send us a message on social media, and make sure to join the MDX Covid-Community for information, events and activities!
For more information about your Students’ Union and for the contact details of our Student Officers and staff team, please visit the MDXSU website.
To take advantage of all these services and benefits, you don't need to do anything - all students of the University are automatically registered as members of MDXSU, and no fee is involved!
You can opt out any time during the academic year, although this should preferably be done within 14 days of enrolment. If you wish to opt out for a year, you should obtain the appropriate form from your campus student office during the designated opt-out period.
MDXSU is led by students and run by four full-time Student Officers - the MDXSU President and three Vice-Presidents.
Every Student Officer studied at Middlesex and were voted into their roles by their fellow students as part of the annual MDXSU Elections.

Your Student Voice Leader is an elected student who represents your year or your course, and gathers feedback from you and your fellow students on any issues you've encountered or ideas you have.
This is a chance for you to have a say in how both your course and your university is run, from timetabling to the cost of food; anything that affects you as a student.
They will address your views to the programme leaders of your course at the Boards of Studies meetings and termly campus-wide Student Voice Conferences with other Student Voice Leaders.
1. You can make major policy decisions which directly improve your course and your school/faculty
2. You receive professional training that will boost your employability and confidence as a leader. You'll have access to a 'build your own leadership' programme, with compulsory Student Leader skills and additional extras that include campaigns, problem solving, persuasive writing, debating, public speaking, and assertiveness
3. You're entitled to represent your course-mates by voting on policy at termly Student Voice Conferences hosted by your Students' Union. Here, you'll receive training, and debate on wider higher education issues
4. You can build a network of people on similar courses at School Policy meetings and learn to be effective in coalition-building and leadership
5. You have power to create positive change that will make a genuine contribution to the Middlesex community.
Elections to nominate yourself to become a Student Voice Leader are held at the start of the year - either October or January, depending on when your course starts. Every student is welcome to take part in Elections, whether by standing for election or voting for their preferred choice.
We have over 100 student groups and societies from cultural and religious groups to academic and general interest. You're bound to meet like-minded people, develop your skills, and be part of a community on campus, all while having fun.
