Paris Dauphine University (French: Université Paris-Dauphine), often referred to as Paris Dauphine or Dauphine, is a selective public research and higher education institution in Paris, France. Dauphine was founded as a faculty of economics and management in 1968 in the former NATO headquarters in western Paris, in the 16th arrondissement.

Dauphine is renowned for its teaching in finance, economics, law, finance and mathematics and business strategy.[1] Dauphine is a selective university with the status of "Grand Etablissement"; this unique legal status within the French higher education system allows Dauphine to make an entrance selection of its students.[2] On average, 90 to 95% of the accepted students received either high distinctions or the highest distinctions at their French High School National Exam results (Examen National du Baccalauréat).[3]

Dauphine is also a founding member, and now a constituent college, of Université PSL. It also belongs to the Conférence des Grandes écoles.

Admissions

The University Paris IX Dauphine is one of the very few universities allowed to legally practice the selection at the entrance of students in France. The legal vagueness related to his "status" as an experimental university allowed it to select students on the bac. This situation led to the transition to the status of Grands établissements in 2004. On the other hand, there has always been a form of selection at the entrance to the 2nd cycle (graduate) for the Masters.

There is no admission bar as such at Paris-Dauphine University, since many criteria are taken into account in the evaluation of a bachelor's degree. However, 94.4% of those admitted in the first year of DEGEAD in June 2013 had obtained a good or very good honors degree.

67% of its students achieved "Very good" (distinction - summa cum laude) in the General Baccalaureate. Regarding Dauphine's most sought-after masters degrees, the admission rate is 3 %.

  • Association de Théâtre à Dauphine (ATD), the theater society
