Computer Science

Rooted in mathematics and engineering, and with creativity and ingenuity at its core, Computer Science is at once a complex science and a practical art that has led to revolutionary innovations in entertainment, the humanities, health, business, the news media, communications, education, scientific research, and the arts.

The Computer Science Program at NYU Abu Dhabi carries out world-class research projects in a variety of fields, and trains students - both in the fundamental principles of computer science and in related aspects of technology - to broaden the knowledge base of computer science majors, and to demonstrate the relevance of computer technology to other disciplines.
