NYU Abu Dhabi, NYU New York, and NYU Shanghai form the backbone of a fully interconnected Global Network University. NYU Abu Dhabi, as a major portal campus of the University, establishes a powerful environment for faculty and students to access the NYU global network and contributes to the ambitious trajectory of Abu Dhabi as an entrepreneurial capital of ideas and talents.
