The Cognition & Perception Program covers various psychology subfields including perception, attention, memory, categorization, language, emotion, decision-making, development, motor control, and cognitive neuroscience. This program operates across two locations: NYU's New York campus and its Abu Dhabi campus. Our faculty directory shows which professors are based at each location. Doctoral candidates at NYU New York usually complete a five-year program involving coursework and research in New York. For NYU Abu Dhabi Ph.D. students, the first two years mainly involve New York-based studies with periodic trips to Abu Dhabi, during which they finish coursework and conduct research with advisors from both campuses. The final three years are dedicated to dissertation work in Abu Dhabi, along with any outstanding course requirements. Additional details about the Global Ph.D. initiative are available.
