Student Success Festival: The Main Event!
Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th March, in the Quad, 11am - 3pm
The Student Success Festival is back! March will see a return to our full-scale festival, which this year is themed around a music festival.
Designed to help get you off on the right foot before exams, assessments and hand-in season begins in full, the March SSF will feature a number of special guests, competitions, activities, opportunities to gain new skills and free gifts!
As always, the Student Success Festival is designed you in mind, with the aim of helping you achieve your best, whether this is your first year at Middlesex University or your final year.
This year we are very excited to announce we will be joined by Lynda.com, as well as the Human Books service and we will be hosting a Language Cafe, along with free smoothies, gifts, prizes, and competitions! Take a look below to see everything that will be on offer for you over the two-day event!
