NYU Abu Dhabi is the first comprehensive liberal arts and research campus in the Middle East to be operated abroad by a major American research university. NYU Abu Dhabi has integrated a highly selective undergraduate curriculum across the disciplines with a world center for advanced research and scholarship. The university enables its students in the sciences, engineering, social sciences, humanities, and arts to succeed in an increasingly interdependent world and advance cooperation and progress on humanity’s shared challenges. NYU Abu Dhabi’s high-achieving students have come from over 115 countries and speak over 115 languages. Together, NYU's campuses in New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai form the backbone of a unique global university, giving faculty and students opportunities to experience varied learning environments and immersion in other cultures at one or more of the numerous study-abroad sites NYU maintains on six continents.

In September 2021 NYUAD celebrates its 10 year anniversary with a public event that will include a range of talks with distinguished guest speakers in conversation with University leadership, faculty, students, and alumni, as well as a feature film premiere on the story of the institution, the launch of an impact report on the University’s contributions over the past 10 years, and an oral history book recounting the origins of NYU Abu Dhabi.
