She said this program shows NYU’s promise to give high-quality education and to help students gain the right skills and connections to succeed in today’s fast-changing business world.

Stern at NYUAD has hired excellent teachers, all of whom have PhDs from some of the world’s best business schools like NYU, MIT, London Business School, HEC Paris, Harvard Business School, Wharton, and INSEAD. So far, 11 top full-time teachers have joined. They will teach and do research in Abu Dhabi.

Fabio Piano, Interim Vice Chancellor of NYU Abu Dhabi, said that opening Stern at NYUAD is a big step in NYUAD’s goal to be a world leader in education and help the UAE grow.

As part of their studies, students will have learning sessions in both Abu Dhabi and New York City.

These projects will give students important hands-on experience and help them learn real business skills.

He believes the program will meet the growing need for smart business leaders in this fast-changing area. By joining NYU’s worldwide reach, Stern’s top education, and Abu Dhabi’s role as a business hub, the program is made to give students an excellent learning journey. He added that the program will train students with the right knowledge, skills, and experiences to bring new ideas and shape the future of world business.
