PhD Students

  • NYUAD offers a Global PhD Fellowship Program through agreements with two Computer Science doctoral programs in NYU New York. The programs generally involve one year of classwork in NYU New York followed by three to four years of research in NYU Abu Dhabi. If selected, the doctorate is fully funded under the NYU Abu Dhabi’s Global PhD Student Fellowship.

  • To pursue a PhD position in the SANAD lab, please submit a standard PhD application to one or both Computer Science doctoral programs in NYU New York:

    The choice of the program will depend on you. When you apply, you will be considered by the faculty in the NYU New York program as well as the NYU Abu Dhabi program. Please make sure to check the “Abu Dhabi” location checkbox to indicate your interest in Abu Dhabi. If the application form does not explicitly ask about potential locations you are interested in, you may indicate your interest in the NYUAD Global PhD by referencing NYUAD, an NYUAD faculty member, or an NYUAD research group in your personal statement (or other application documents). Note that there is no separate application for the Global PhD Student Fellowship funding; all interested PhD applicants will be considered.

  • Please be advised that the PhD application deadlines are typically early or mid December of the preceding year. If you miss the deadline, it may still be possible to submit an application, but you should contact the relevant NYU New York department.
