Description
NYU Abu Dhabi Community Programs oversee multiple initiatives, including the Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Community Programs, which consist of the Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Scholars Program and the NYU Abu Dhabi Summer Academy. In addition, NYU Abu Dhabi Community Programs administer the Arab Film Studio Young Filmmakers Workshop and the NYU Abu Dhabi PhD Pathways Program.
The Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Scholars Program offers a select cohort of talented university students access to specially designed courses, lectures, leadership experiences, networking, and graduate school counseling. We admit scholars from among the most outstanding students at the three federal UAE universities:
Higher Colleges of Technology, the United Arab Emirates University, and Zayed University. The Scholars Program has been developed in close consultation with His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Her Highness Sheikha Mariam bint Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE federal universities, and New York University Abu Dhabi.
The NYU Abu Dhabi Summer Academy is an 18‑month university preparation program designed to enhance the academic profiles of highly motivated Emirati high school students. The program features intensive instruction in Leadership and Public Speaking, Critical Thinking and Writing, Mathematical Reasoning for the Sciences, College Readiness and Success, and IELTS Preparation over the course of two summers and an intervening academic year.
The Arab Film Studio Young Filmmakers Workshop
, a collaboration between Image Nation Abu Dhabi and NYU Abu Dhabi, is a three‑week program for Emirati high school students that enables and enhances filmmaking skills. Participants from across the UAE are exposed to the teachings and experience of leading industry professionals. From screenwriting and directing to camera and post‑production, the three weeks come to a close with a screening of a collection of short films written and directed by the participants.
The NYUAD PhD Pathways Program is a first of its kind in the UAE; NYUAD’s PhD Pathways Program aims to address the challenge of under‑representation of Emirati PhDs and professors in higher education, through enhanced and early access to research experience, mentorship, skill acquisition, exploration of research careers, and graduate school preparation.
