=== Former campuses ===
==== Archway and Hospitals ====
[[File:Royal Free Hospital, Hampstead - geograph.org.uk - 275921.jpg|thumb|Royal Free Hospital, Hampstead|alt=]]
The campus was closed in 2013, to help provide students with better facilities than those allowed by the old building at the Archway Campus.
Archway and Hospitals campus was primarily the domain of the School of Health and Social Sciences. It operated from four sites (hospitals): [[Royal Free Hospital]], [[Archway Hospital|Whittington Hospital (Archway Wing)]] (jointly owned with UCL), [[Chase Farm Hospital|Chase Farm]] and [[North Middlesex University Hospital|North Middlesex]].

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.<ref name="CETL1">{{cite web|url=http://www.mdx.ac.uk/hssc/cetl/opening.asp |title=CETL – Official opening, 24 Jan 2007 |publisher=Middlesex University |access-date=23 January 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120222044012/http://www.mdx.ac.uk/hssc/cetl/opening.asp |archive-date=22 February 2012 }}</ref> CETL status was bestowed on the Mental Health and Social Work Academic Group at the university in partnership with the [[Sainsbury family|Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health]] in 2005.<ref name="MiddlesexPR180107">{{cite press release|title=Archway Campus Newsletter|publisher=University College London|date=April 2006|url=http://www.archway.ac.uk/campus-newsletter/newsletter-april-06.pdf#page=13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060522092622/http://www.archway.ac.uk/campus-newsletter/newsletter-april-06.pdf#page=13|url-status=dead|archive-date=2006-05-22|access-date=23 January 2014}}</ref> Consequently, the centre was awarded a capital grant of £1.4&nbsp;million along with an annual revenue of £350,000 for five years, representing one of the largest ever funding initiatives by the [[Higher Education Funding Council for England]] (HEFCE).<ref name="HEFCE1">{{cite web|url=http://www.hefce.ac.uk/pubs/hefce/2005/05_17/05_17.doc|title=Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning: Outcomes and funding allocations|publisher=Higher Education Funding Council for England|access-date=3 August 2009}}</ref> 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.<ref name="MiddlesexPR180107"/>

==== Trent Park ====
[[File:Trent Park House - geograph.org.uk - 71113.jpg|thumb|Mansion at Trent Park]]
[[Trent Park]] campus was closed in 2012 and all departments were moved to the main campus in Hendon. The campus was set within a {{convert|413|acre|km2|adj=on}} [[country park]], which was originally a fourteenth-century hunting ground of [[Henry IV of England|Henry IV]]. The focus of the campus was a palatial mansion, designed by [[Sir William Chambers]] in the 18th century. After the [[Second World War]], the [[Ministry of Education (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Education]] used the house as an emergency teacher training centre, which became a residential teacher training college, called Trent Park College of Education in 1951.<ref name="TrentParkEn">{{cite web|url=http://www.enfield.gov.uk/info/1000000439/enfield_parks/986/trent_country_park/5 |title=Trent Park |publisher=Enfield Council |access-date=23 January 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201180620/http://www.enfield.gov.uk/info/1000000439/enfield_parks/986/trent_country_park/5 |archive-date=1 February 2014 }}</ref> In 1974 the college was incorporated into Middlesex Polytechnic.

In 2012 around 16% of Middlesex students were based at Trent Park campus. The university's Summer School, which accounts for 0.2% of Middlesex students, also took place here.<ref name="FFMUHM">{{cite web|url=http://www.mdx.ac.uk/aboutus/newsevents/factsandfigures.asp#campus|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090915181149/http://www.mdx.ac.uk/aboutus/newsevents/factsandfigures.asp|archive-date=15 September 2009|title=Facts and Figures|publisher=Middlesex University|access-date=23 January 2014}}</ref> The university had ambitious plans to redevelop the site, but they were twice rejected by [[London Borough of Enfield|Enfield]] Council on environmental concerns.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.enfieldindependent.co.uk/news/4082904.Students_under_one_roof|title=Students under one roof|first=Kevin|last=Bradford|work=Enfield Independent|date=28 January 2009|access-date=22 January 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.enfieldindependent.co.uk/news/9509631.Greek_free_school_bids_to_use_Trent_Park_university_buildings/|title=Greek free school bids to use Trent Park Middlesex University buildings|first=David|last=Hardiman|work=Enfield Independent|date=2 February 2012|access-date=22 January 2014}}</ref>

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

====Tottenham====
The campus was closed in summer 2005, its programmes of study having moved to the university's other campuses. What was the Tottenham campus started life as St Katharine's College, one of the first British teacher training colleges in 1878, later to become the College of All Saints, a Church of England college of higher education and a constituent college of the [[Institute of Education]], [[University of London]], for whose degrees it taught. The name change was a result of the 1964 union of St Katharine's with Berridge House, [[Hampstead]], on the Tottenham site. The college expanded in the 1960s, although much of the campus retained its Victorian architecture. The college was highly regarded while part of the University of London, but its reputation suffered almost immediately once it was incorporated into Middlesex.

After the closure of the college and the union with Middlesex Polytechnic, the 'All Saints' campus was home to humanities and cultural studies, business studies, law, sociology and women's studies, all of which have been moved to other campuses. The buildings, previously occupied by the university, were demolished and the site is now the home of the [[Haringey Sixth Form College]].<ref name="HSFC">{{cite web|url=http://www.haringey6.ac.uk/|title=Haringey Six Form College|publisher=Haringey Six Form College|access-date=23 July 2009}}</ref> The College of All Saints Foundation, dating from the 1964 union, continues as the All Saints Educational Trust.<ref name="CAS">{{cite web|url=http://www.aset.org.uk/|title=All Saints Educational Trust home page|publisher=All Saints Educational Trust|access-date=23 July 2009}}</ref>

====Bounds Green====
Bounds Green campus, home to the Engineering and Information Technology schools was sold to a residential developer in December 2003. It was used extensively for location shooting for the 1989 film, ''[[Wilt (film)|Wilt]]''.

====Enfield====
[[File:Broadbent building, Enfield Campus, Middlesex University, 2004.jpg|thumb|Broadbent building]]
The history of Enfield Campus began with the history of [[electric light]]. In 1901, [[Joseph Wilson Swan]] bought a house in [[Ponders End]] High Street that became the Ediswan Institute.<ref>Pam, D. (1977),''The New Enfield: Stories of Enfield Edmonton and Southgate, a Jubilee History'', London Borough of Enfield Libraries, Arts & Entertainment Dept</ref> Four years later Ediswan Institute was bought by Middlesex County Council and became the Ponders End Technical 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. Due to the [[Second World War]], it was not completed until 1953, but the unfinished buildings were in use throughout the war. By now it was called Enfield Technical College, but in 1962 it was renamed ''Enfield College of Technology'' by the [[Ministry of Education (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Education]]. In 1973 the college formed part of Middlesex Polytechnic.

There are four major buildings on campus: ''Broadbent'', ''Roberts building'' (or Tower Block), ''McCrae'' and ''Pascal''. They are named after people who helped to create it.
* '''Broadbent''', the main building of Enfield Campus, is named after Henry Winterbottom Broadbent, a mechanical engineer who was appointed first Principal of Enfield Technical College in January 1941.
* '''Roberts''' tower block was named after a local industrialist George A. Roberts, who was chair of Enfield College's governing body from 1949 to 1968.
* '''McCrae''' building was the first extension to Enfield Technical College. Built in 1955, it was later named after Roderick McCrae, who was the Principal from 1955 to 1962.
* '''Pascal''' building is named after Eric Pascal who was Education Officer of the Borough of Enfield from before 1942 until 1945 or later, and clerk to the Governors of Enfield College from 1949 to 1965. The campus was closed in July 2008, and the majority of departments moved to the extended Hendon campus and some to the Archway Campus shared with UCL.

==== Cat Hill ====
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.<ref name="enfind">{{cite news|last=Hardiman|first=David|url=http://www.enfieldindependent.co.uk/news/8936296.New_homes_planned_for_Cat_Hill_campus/|title=New Homes Planned for Cat Hill Campus|work=Enfield Independent|date=28 March 2011|access-date=30 March 2011|location=London, United Kingdom}}</ref> The campus closed in September 2011 and students moved to a new £80&nbsp;million 'Grove' building on the university's Hendon campus.<ref name="enfind"/>

Cat Hill Campus was located in [[Cockfosters]]. It was originally the Hornsey College of Art, founded in 1880. In the late 1970s the campus was extended to become the Faculty of Art & Design of the then Middlesex Polytechnic.
