Global PhD Student Fellowship in Chemical Engineering

In collaboration with the New York University Tandon School of Engineering, the Division of Engineering at New York University Abu Dhabi offers Global PhD Student Fellowships in Chemical Engineering.

Global PhD students in Chemical Engineering are enrolled at the Chemical Engineering doctorate program in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department from NYU Tandon School of Engineering, and enjoy the same privileges and responsibilities as all NYU PhD students.

PhD Students in the Global PhD Student Fellowship undertake most of their coursework in New York and conduct their research in Abu Dhabi. This enables each student to engage in formative study with an entering cohort of students, and take advantage of NYU’s world-class resources.
