The fourth regional Times Higher Education Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Universities Summit will examine how a global education can provide research and creative opportunities for students that concurrently wield positive social impact for the region. The summit will focus on higher education teaching and research models for the MENA region, while also sharing global perspectives on how to nurture a talent pipeline.
NYU Abu Dhabi is an ideal host for this summit – as an institution that is a decade old, its fundamental model of education emphasizes breadth through a liberal education core curriculum and depth through rigorous majors. Students at NYU Abu Dhabi are internationally diverse and are part of a global network that prioritises study away as an important component of the undergraduate experience.
