Advising
The Future Is Personal
NYU Abu Dhabi students come from everywhere, head nearly everywhere, and want to do just about everything, so a one-size-fits all approach just won’t work here. No matter what the goal or destination, the Career Development Center (CDC) advising team has the breadth and depth to help students get there. Students connect with globally minded professional advising staff and speak to peer advisors to help them get started.
A Proactive Approach
CDC advisors work to proactively advise students on key issues and timelines that might impact their future. Such as how to make their CV (resume) more relevant to their home region, or updated deadlines for a particular industry, or a message about a job that is looking for people who speak a particular language. CDC advisors actively support students in what they know is needed, and what might not yet have been considered.
