Middlesex gives no fixed closing date and asks students to apply as early as possible.

Applying from Sri Lanka
Middlesex has a Sri Lanka page with its own entry rules:
- Undergraduate: at least three C grades at A level.
- Year three entry: considered for a Merit in the Edexcel HND in Computing.
- Postgraduate: a good degree from a recognised university with at least 55%.
The same page says Middlesex is currently not accepting applicants from Sri Lanka for its Pre-Sessional English and International Foundation courses until further notice. That means you should apply with an English score that already meets your course requirement. It also reminds applicants who have lived in Sri Lanka in the past six months that a TB test is needed for a stay of six months or more; our IOM Colombo TB test guide explains the booking. The full visa process is in how to apply for a UK student visa.
