NYU Students

NYU London and NYU Madrid are no longer available on the Spring 2024 interest form. The Office of Global Programs continues to accept interest forms for all other locations.

The Study Away Interest Form Review Process

The interest form review is a holistic process that considers the complete academic record, materials and unique program requirements submitted by each student. On this page you will find all the details needed to be considered to study away for a semester or academic year with NYU Global Programs at an NYU global site.

If interested in applying to a program not offered through NYU Global Programs (ex. Tisch Special Programs, Stern IBEX, Tandon Global E3), we encourage you to visit the appropriate school or department website.

Eligibility Criteria

Registered as a full-time undergraduate student at NYU
Completed freshman year of study (two full semesters) and will be 18 or older prior to beginning of term away*
Students must be making sufficient academic progress to the degree as defined by my home school.
NYU Sydney - 3.0 GPA requirement
Students on academic or disciplinary probation are ineligible to study away
Students currently on leave from the University may be required to return to their home campus and successfully complete one academic semester (Fall or Spring) of full-time course work before enrolling in NYU Study Away; this is determined on a case-by-case basis

Items Needed to Submit Interest Form

In order to submit your interest form for study away for a semester or an academic year, we require the following information to consider your submission complete:

Term Selection- Fall Semester or Spring Semester. Academic Year (Fall & Spring Semester) applicants should select Fall Semester.

Note: Students interested in specific sites may be required to submit additional materials (e.g NYU Los Angeles, NYU London, and NYU Abu Dhabi).

*A second or third choice will be reviewed if there is limited space at your first choice location. By selecting additional choices this does not decrease your likelihood of receiving an offer to enroll at your first choice location. If you do not select a second or third choice, this does not mean you are guaranteed an offer at your first choice location. It is possible you will be placed on a waitlist should your first choice location be at capacity.

Once you submit your interest form, you will have access to apply for additional optional opportunities (where available). Access to opportunities is based on your first choice location:
