NYU Abu Dhabi consists of a highly selective liberal arts and sciences college, with engineering and a world center for advanced research and scholarship — all integrated with each other and connected through state-of-the-art technology to NYU New York.
Together, NYU Abu Dhabi and NYU New York form the backbone of a unique Global Network University that equips students for leadership in all arenas of human endeavor by fostering curiosity, creativity, and critical reflection.
NYU Abu Dhabi is a central component of Abu Dhabi's vision of becoming a leading world idea capital. For its first four years, the University is located in the heart of downtown Abu Dhabi. In 2014, it will move to its permanent home on Saadiyat Island, where it will be joined by neighbors including the Guggenheim, the Louvre, the Zayed National Museum, and a world-class performing arts center.
