At the university level, students are given unparalleled opportunities to expand their educational experiences with an integrated, globally designed curricular experience. They have the freedom to move with ease between locations within NYU's global network. It is quite possible to find students spending a semester in Buenos Aires and from there going to Berlin for another. With careful planning and working closely with their advisers, students can make sure they're taking all the major courses and electives needed to graduate on time. Visit the NYU Study Away website for more information.

About

This program is ideal for college sophomores and juniors who wish to spend a semester or an academic year living and learning in an exciting and culturally diverse location on six continents around the world.

The various sites offer specialized courses and quality academics from renowned faculty, guaranteed housing and a supportive full-time staff, cultural engagement, day trips and weekend excursions, as well as scholarships and financial aid.

All students that are interested in studying abroad through NYU Study Away must be enrolled in an undergraduate program at NYU, have completed on full year of study in New York City at the time of departure, and maintain a recommended cumulative GPA of at least 3.0.

Tandon students are encouraged to study abroad at any of the NYU Global Sites and Campuses, However, depending on your major, some sites offer specific Tandon courses to help you meet the academic needs of your degree requirements more easily. Below are some common locations Tandon students have taken to complete major requirements while also taking classes that meet their Humanities and Social Science requirements. Many such courses in economics, English, public health, history, math, politics, and psychology are offered at all sites. Remember, these ARE NOT your only options and you should refer back to your major's 4 Year Plan and the Office of Global Programs to decide which location works best with your interests and that compliments your degree completion progress the best.

Students from all majors have studied at most NYU Global Sites; however, for those with strict STEM requirements, the locations listed below have been the most popular choices. These are not your only options, and we encourage you to explore each site, consult with your academic advisor, and connect with a Tandon Global staff member to determine the best fit for your plans.

Students admitted to study away at an NYU Global Site are guaranteed:

  • Consistent tuition and fees — NYU tuition and fees remain the same.
  • Automatic consideration for scholarships and financial aid.
  • NYU‑sponsored housing (costs may vary by location).
  • Comprehensive international health insurance coverage.
  • Immigration assistance through NYU’s Office of Global Services.

Students will be responsible for:

  • Round‑trip airfare to and from their study abroad location.
  • Daily living expenses and meals (note: only NYU Abu Dhabi includes a meal plan as part of housing costs).
  • Immigration documents and visas (depending on citizenship).

NYU is committed to ensuring that students are immersed as much as possible in local cultures when they study abroad. This commitment is reflected in the mandatory language instruction at seven GNU locations: Berlin, Buenos Aires, Florence, Madrid, Paris, Shanghai, and Tel Aviv. At these sites, students are required to take either a language course for a letter grade or (if they have already achieved advanced proficiency) a content course taught in the language of the host country. Language courses at Tandon count as Free Elective credit only unless they are content classes. For instance, if you take a History of China course taught in Chinese, it can count as a HUSS or a Free elective. Elementary Chinese I will only count as a Free elective.

Students are encouraged to review the Recommendations for Language Study in NYU's Global Network.

Learn more about application deadlines on the Global Programs website. It is always recommended to apply by the priority deadline date since many sites will reach capacity after then.
