Global University

NYU New York, NYU Abu Dhabi, and NYU Shanghai form the backbone of NYU’s global network of degree granting campuses and academic centers across six continents that enable seamless international mobility of students and faculty in their pursuit of academic and scholarly activity.

The first of its kind, this global university represents a transformative shift in higher education, one in which the intellectual and creative endeavors of academia are shaped and examined through an international and multicultural perspective. Designed to draw the most talented and creative students and faculty from around the world, it enables those students and faculty to circulate throughout the network while retaining access to the University's  intellectual community and resources.

NYU Abu Dhabi’s international composition, rigorous academic program, innovative research capacity, and location at the crossroads of the Arab world creates valuable opportunities for faculty and students across the global network to engage in academic dialogue in the Middle East and beyond.

I can begin to find the correct words to properly describe my true feelings about NYU.. NYU has shown me nothing less than the utmost convicted purpose of helping me achieve every last academic and professional dream I have had. NYU is an institution that is dedicated to helping people shape their dreams and gives us the insight, skill, and ability to transform those dreams into goals. NYU has most certainly changed my life for the better; my life will never be the same after attending NYU, and for that I could not be anything other than grateful....
