Summer Program Application Information

2018 Summer Program

NYU Shanghai is offering all levels of intensive Chinese and many other content courses in Shanghai for summer 2018. All summer courses are open to NYU Shanghai students and are open by application to study away students from NYU New York, NYU Abu Dhabi and students from other accredited four-year universities.

The intensive Chinese language courses give students the opportunity to improve their Chinese language skills and experience the excitement and wonder of Shanghai, one of the most dynamic cities in Asia. Additionally, students have the opportunity to visit historical sites in Beijing in Summer Session I and Nanjing in Summer Session II. Students benefit from NYU Shanghai’s facilities, professors, and full-time academic and student life staff. Site visits to historic sites and neighborhoods arranged by NYU enable students to explore this city beyond the campus. Before you apply, we encourage you to learn more about NYU Shanghai.
