When NYU Abu Dhabi welcomed its inaugural class in 2010, it was with the vision of establishing a diverse and vital centre of distinctive education and scholarship, actively embedded in NYU’s global network, and recognized as the model for a new paradigm in higher education: the university as an engine of a more peaceful, cooperative, and productive world.

A decade later, with nearly 1,500 undergraduate students from more than 115 nations, almost 80 Global PhD students in the sciences and engineering, who are closely connected to graduate programs in New York, and more than 300 standing, affiliated, and visiting faculty, that vision has become a reality.

NYU Abu Dhabi is an institution in and of Abu Dhabi, in and of New York University, and in and of the world. It offers the best of the American liberal arts and sciences with the intercultural perspective required for shared understanding and common purpose in our world.
