Application Process

Potential Biology Fellowship candidates apply using the standard GSAS online application for admission to the Biology PhD program. There is no separate application for the NYUAD Global PhD Student Fellowship.

Interested students complete a laboratory rotation in Abu Dhabi during their first year of study, and Fellowship recipients will be notified by the end of their first year in the PhD program.

Visit the GSAS Application Resource Center for more information on how to apply.

The application deadline for Fall 2025 is December 1, 2024. Please note that applications are only accepted for the fall semester, as we do not offer Spring admission.
