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.

As a grad of this school, can tell that it has superb education quality and offers a vast array of opportunities for personal growth. Personally, spent my two January terms in Washington DC and NYC, taking classes in Nation Building (Politics) and Brand Marketing with renowned profs. Additionally, spent an entire junior year at NYU in New York taking 7 classes in total at NYU Stern and 3 at NYU Courant. Academically, it provides the best of everything.

Attended a campus tour with my son yesterday. New and hi-tech campus with great environment, international staff and students.
Organizers of Falcon campus tour were very informative, keen to answer to every questions of prospective students.
I think, one can fully devote himself/herself to studies in this environment.

Together with New York University in New York City and New York University Shanghai, the portal campus is part of NYU's Global Network University. It opened in 2008 at a temporary site for conferences and cultural events. The academic program opened in September 2010 at the university's provisional downtown site and was later moved in 2014 to the permanent campus built on Saadiyat Island , Abu Dhabi
