Since it opened its doors in 1968, Université Paris-Dauphine has been a unique player in French higher education - both highly selective and unreservedly committed to promoting social and cultural diversity. How do we attract the best and brightest? We owe our success to a multidisciplinary academic project that combines the excellence and advanced research capabilities of a university with the vitality and professional perspectives of a business school, to our global vision and reach, to our privileged ties with the business community, and to our capacity to engage with our local communities.
Paris‐Dauphine is a creative institution, continually developing initiatives to further innovation and promote talent. For example, the Dauphine Talents Bachelor's program makes it possible for top-level athletes, talented artists, performers, and entrepreneurs to combine university studies with their athletic, artistic, or entrepreneurial careers. Our innovative, research-based approach to teaching benefits both students and researchers. We encourage students to participate actively in the university's numerous student clubs and organizations, and we support student entrepreneurship via our business incubator.
Paris‐Dauphine is also socially engaged and responsible. We encourage openness of mind, thoughtful action, strong ethics, and promote active and responsible citizenship. We advocate multidisciplinary research capable of meeting today's societal challenges. The university is outward-looking, engaged with the communities around it. Paris-Dauphine actively promotes equal opportunity admissions through an outreach, learning, and financial support initiative designed to prepare high school students from low-income households for admission to Paris-Dauphine. To ensure that housing issues do not discourage students from pursuing their studies, Paris-Dauphine, via Fondation Paris-Dauphine, is engaged in an ambitious drive to acquire new student housing.
Paris-Dauphine is an international institution, and we are continuing to expand overseas, to strengthen our international visibility and attractiveness both in research and academics. We believe that international exchange is essential to education. Through the exchange, students experience different cultures, ways of thinking, and behaving, making them more open and better prepared to thrive in a global world.
Dauphine is a genuinely international university - 25% of our student body hails from outside of France. We have developed a wide range of international joint and dual degree programs, international research projects, and exchanges. We have created Dauphine campuses abroad, our faculty and researchers publish in the world's most prestigious international scientific reviews – and we are firmly committed to pursuing our international development.
Université Paris-Dauphine's international exchange programs in the European Union are organized within the Socrates-Erasmus and ECTS systems framework. For its non-European programs, Dauphine signs bilateral academic agreements with partner universities.
To further broaden its international scope, Dauphine works with university organizations like the CREPUQ (conference of Quebec Universities). Thanks to whom we have been able to increase our North American exchange programs.
To attract international students and facilitate their integration, Dauphine has reinforced its offering of courses taught in English, developed classes in French as a foreign language, and organized an intensive French language seminar for non-French-speaking students beginning each semester.
Université Paris-Dauphine's research centers are active in numerous international networks for scientific cooperation and work with a wide range of international partners.
Dauphine researchers and faculty publish in the world's most prestigious international scientific reviews, participate in international scientific committees, conferences and colloquia, and are members of international research organizations' scientific advisory committees.
Dauphine encourages its Ph.D. students, researchers, and faculty to participate in international exchange, notably through joint thesis supervisory agreements, exchange agreements with foreign universities, and inviting foreign guest researchers to Dauphine.
