The NYU Abu Dhabi Community Programs oversee multiple initiatives, including the Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Community Programs (Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Scholars Program and NYU Abu Dhabi Summer Academy), the Arab Film Studio Young Filmmakers Workshop, and the NYU Abu Dhabi PhD Pathways Program.
The Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Scholars Program provides a select cohort of talented university students access to specially cloned courses, lectures, leadership experiences, networking, and graduate school counseling. Scholars are admitted from the three federal UAE universities:
Higher Colleges of Technology, United Arab Emirates University, and Zayed University.
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 is a three‑week collaboration between Image Nation Abu Dhabi and NYU Abu Dhabi, enabling Emirati high school students to develop filmmaking skills through screenwriting, directing, camera, and post‑production work. The program culminates in a screening of short films written and directed by the participants.
The NYUAD PhD Pathways Program is a first‑of‑its‑kind initiative addressing the under‑representation of Emirati PhDs and professors in higher education. The program provides early access to research experience, mentorship, skill acquisition, exploration of research careers, and graduate school preparation.
