Middlesex University London has conferred an Honorary Doctorate on the founder of Middlesex University Dubai and Co-Chairman of Middlesex University Dubai’s Board, Mr. Misho Ravic. Doctor of the University is the University’s highest honour. The Honorary Doctorate was awarded during the graduation ceremony which took place in London on July 6, 2010 . Presiding over the ceremony was the Vice Chancellor Professor Michael Driscoll, in the presence of Deputy Vice Chancellor Terry Butland, dignitaries, faculty, graduates and parents.
In early 2004, Mr. Ravic embarked on a journey with Middlesex University to establish London’s first and only campus in the United Arab Emirates. He chose Middlesex University, not only for the quality of its programmes and teaching, but also for the unique diversity of its student and staff population as well as its outstanding record. Mr. Ravic partnered with Middlesex University to establish a great success story in Dubai, and they both did, as evident in today’s strength of the university.
The university follows a highly selective award policy to ensure that an Honorary Doctorate is awarded to the most deserving candidates, distinguished individuals who merit special recognition for genuine accomplishment and distinction in a field or activity consonant with its mission. Middlesex University awards Honorary Degrees to recognise those who make exceptional contributions to their profession, community or directly to the university.
Mr. Ravic’s passion for education is renowned. He believes in quality and practices it. His extraordinary contributions to the field of higher education, health, and socially responsible business are seen across a number of countries and variety of critical contexts. He is the man behind many success stories.
On receiving his doctorate Mr. Ravic said “Middlesex University is unique in its pioneering vision and global outlook. It is an international university with roots in London. This inclusive vision has always set it apart from other universities and firmly established its position as a leading British university for the future. I found myself in an ideal situation to partner with Middlesex University and be a part of this innovative vision.” “Thank you for extending me the great privilege of a Middlesex University Honorary Doctorate. I am deeply touched, and I accept this honour with a sense of immense pride”, added Mr. Ravic.
Since 2004, the Middlesex University Dubai community has grown to more than 1,400 students enrolled in 28 undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, including media, psychology, education, business, tourism, international development and information technology. This October, Middlesex University Dubai is introducing five new programmes, including the BA Honours Journalism and Communication Studies, BA Honours International Business, BA Honours Marketing, MSc Applied Psychology and MSc Computer Network Management.
In 2009, the university awarded Her Excellency Maryam Mohammed Khalfan Al Roomi, Minister of Social Affairs, with the accolade of Honorary Doctor of the University in recognition of her dedication, commitment and excellence towards the social development of the UAE and the Arab world and her inspiring community leadership. In 2008 the Honorary Doctorate was presented to His Excellency Sultan Bin Sulayem, Chairman of Dubai World, for his outstanding contributions to Dubai. The honorary doctoral award recipients are a source of tremendous pride and motivation to graduating students who share the stage with such prominent and influential personalities.
In 2009, Middlesex University Dubai was evaluated by the UK’s Quality Assurance Agency as part of Middlesex University’s audit. The Quality Assurance Agency gave its top-most rating to Middlesex University and identified as ‘good practice’ the meticulous attention given to the establishment, development and integration of the University’s Dubai campus. Middlesex Dubai is also licensed and approved by Dubai Government’s Knowledge and Human Development Authority.
