Before your arrival, please follow guidelines provided by the Office of Global Programs in NYU New York. Make sure you attend the pre-departure orientation and check emails frequently after your admission to the program. Be aware of the updated announcements and learn useful preparation tips for your stay in Shanghai.
Pre-arrival Orientation
Pre-arrival orientation will be offered to all study away/visiting students prior to departure. The pre-arrival orientation will normally take place four weeks prior to your departure. During the pre-arrival orientation, study away/visiting students will get a chance to directly communicate with staff and student leaders from NYU Shanghai for any questions they may have prior travel to China.
Study Away Orientation Ambassador and Study Away Program Assistant Student Leaders Team
Our amazing student leaders (SAOA&SAPA) will contact you before your departure and assist you throughout your entire stay at NYU Shanghai. While studying away in Shanghai, SAPAs will answer your questions, provide travel guidance and lead exciting cultural programs for study away/visiting students.
