Mission

The objectives of NYU in London are to provide both research-led undergraduate education of the highest possible quality, and the opportunity to experience a foreign, English-language, but culturally diverse society.

These objectives are to be met in a study abroad programme which extends beyond the classroom. NYU in London recognises that such a context is educationally most effective when it combines experimental and formal learning in an integrated way.

It aims for its course offerings to be of a similar standard available at NYU in Washington Square, and engages faculty from UK Universities to provide research-led, taught courses in their respective fields of expertise. It also aims to provide wide-ranging co-curricular activities which compliment students’ coursework, as well as enhancing their understanding of the society and culture in which they are staying.

The overriding ethos of NYU in London is to provide high quality education, rivalling the best in the US, albeit offered in a foreign country, but combined with the advantages that being based in a foreign country and culture brings in terms of a widened experience.
