Careers
At the Stern School of Business at NYU Abu Dhabi, career development is a central pillar of the educational experience. The Career Management Center (CMC) offers dedicated, personalized support to help students navigate their professional journey during the program and beyond. With deep regional expertise and global reach, the CMC provides access to one-on-one coaching, industry connections, leadership workshops, and tailored resources to support advancement, career shifts, or entrepreneurial pursuits.
A hallmark of our programs is the Signature Internship Project, a unique opportunity for students to apply their learning in a real-world setting with a regional organization. Designed as an educational experience, the project allows students to work on strategic challenges while building their networks and creating tangible impact across the UAE and broader MENA region.
As students progress through the program, they’ll receive continuous guidance to refine their goals, expand their leadership potential, and access new opportunities. Whether seeking to grow within their current organization or pivot into a new sector, the support is structured to meet evolving needs at every stage.
“Through our rigorous programs led by world-class faculty, coupled with experiential learning projects and a bespoke career development support system, Stern at NYUAD students will be uniquely and effectively positioned to advance their post-MBA careers to a fast-forward track in the UAE and beyond. One of CMC’s key goals is to afford our students better access to top-tier business networks and enable them the opportunity to have a positive business impact in the Region.”
