Shanghai New York University

Established in 2012, Shanghai New York University is China's first Sino-American joint research university, approved by the Ministry of Education and supported by the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Pudong New Area Government. It is co-founded by East China Normal University and New York University and is one of the three degree-granting campuses in NYU's global network.


With a focus on China and a global perspective, Shanghai New York University leverages NYU's advanced educational philosophy and high-quality educational resources to dedicate itself to excellent teaching, research, and social service. It aims to become a transformative "experimental field" in China's higher education reform, cultivating students into global citizens with international perspectives, cross-cultural communication skills, and innovative abilities.
