The university has one of the most diverse student bodies in the world. For example, the class of 2021 is made up of 361 students coming from 88 different countries. Only 14% of the class of 2021 is made up of local Emiratis.
The university takes advantage of NYU’s Global Network and offers many opportunities to travel and study abroad.
Most students receive full or partial scholarships.
However, due to the fact that the campus opened less than 10 years ago, NYU Abu Dhabi is not yet easily recognizable.
