The NYU Global Network Celebrates Decades of Learning

In addition to being a city at the forefront of political discourse and technological advancement, Paris is a city with a history of exceptional higher education. That’s why NYU Paris was the second site established in the NYU global network. Founded in 1969 as a center for the immersive study of French, NYU Paris is celebrating 50 years of academic excellence. And while it continues to be a draw for Francophiles, it is equally appealing to students in diverse fields, from art history to computer science.

The academic center is in the city’s Latin Quarter, where students have studied since the Middle Ages. In this enlightening environment, academic exchanges and place-based study are hard to miss. NYU Paris classes are often held at museums and historical sites. Some also explore the modern parts of Paris. In addition to all of NYU’s offerings, students have the opportunity to supplement their schedule with courses at renowned French universities like the Sorbonne and Sciences Po.

Business, the arts, history, and science: London has it all. That’s why establishing an NYU academic center here in 1999 was an important step for the NYU academic community. Although English is the language of instruction at all of NYU’s global locations, NYU London offers a wealth of internship, research, and advanced study opportunities for students who lack fluency in other languages.

NYU London is an especially good choice for students majoring in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. Why? Because students can take required courses, like Organic Chemistry, that are identical to the courses taught at their home campus. In fact, NYU is the only institution in London to offer science courses approved by the American Medical College Application Service. That means NYU students who are thinking about going to medical school can stay on track with their degree while studying abroad.

In a region whose history dates back thousands of years, Tel Aviv is a young city. It is also rapidly gaining a reputation as a hub for tech start-ups. Learning in a city with such a clear juxtaposition of past, present, and future offers NYU students a rich world of possibilities. Here, they can gain new perspectives and firsthand knowledge of topics as varied as archaeology and Israeli cinema. And a special internship program gives NYU students unique access to Tel Aviv’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, including opportunities at start-ups, accelerators, innovation hubs, and financial firms.
