Graduate and Advanced Education

NYU Shanghai welcomes your interest in graduate study. Our master’s and PhD degree programs span a variety of disciplines, yet also come together to define us as one community. 


All of our graduate programs are jointly offered with other NYU schools and departments based in New York City. For certain programs, students will apply to the NYU partner school while for others, students will apply to the Graduate Admissions Office at NYU Shanghai.


Each program has specific admission requirements and procedures so you should read carefully the information that pertains to each program. You may also reach out to us at any time with admissions-related inquiries, visit our website, or see a calendar of upcoming events.
