New York University Abu Dhabi

New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD, ) is a degree-granting portal campus of New York University, established as a private liberal arts college in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Together with the main site in New York City and New York University Shanghai, the portal campus is part of NYU's Global Network University. The founding of this trailblazing research university through a partnership with NYU and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi based on a shared understanding of the essential roles and challenges of higher education in the 21st century was a historic milestone for Abu Dhabi and the MENA region.

It started in 2008 as a temporary site for conferences and cultural events. The academic program opened in September 2010 at the university's provisional downtown site. It was moved permanently in 2014 to Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi.

The university has produced 22 Rhodes Scholars since its opening in 2010.
