Paris Dauphine University - PSL (French:Université Paris Dauphine - PSL) is aGrande École and public institution of higher education and research based inParis,France,constituent college ofPSL University. As of 2022, Dauphine has 9,400 students in 8 fields of study (law, economics, finance, computer science, journalism, management, mathematics, social sciences), plus 3,800 in executive education.[1][4] Its status as agrand établissement,[5] adopted in 2004, allows it to select its students.[6] On average, 90 to 95% of accepted students received either high distinctions or the highest distinctions at their French High School National Exam results (Examen National du Baccalauréat).[7] Dauphine is also a member of theConférence des Grandes Écoles.[8]
Research at Dauphine concerns "organization and decision sciences", organized in 6 research laboratories (5 of which are mixed units also staffed byCNRS researchers): theCEREMADE Center for Research in Decision Mathematics, theCR2D Dauphine Law Research Center,DRM Dauphine Management Research, theIRISSO Interdisciplinary Research Institute in Social Science, theLAMSADE Laboratory for Analysis and Modeling of Decision Support Systems, and theLEDa Dauphine Economics Laboratory. A total of 519 research staff work at Dauphine.[1]
Dauphine was founded on 24 October 1968 as a university center with the status of a faculty, namedCentre universitaire Dauphine.[9] On 17 December 1970, as part of the division of the ancientUniversity of Paris into 13 universities, it became an "établissement public à caractère scientifique et culturel", namedUniversité Paris-IX Dauphine.[10]
The university was established in the Palais Dauphine, also known as the Palais de l'OTAN ("NATO Palace"), a building designed byJacques Carlu and built at Porte Dauphine between 1955 and 1957 to serve as theNATO headquarters. It served that function between 1959 and 1966, when France left the NATO military structure.[11]
Paris-IX Dauphine was designated as an "experimental university", and was one of the very few universities in France to select students on the basis of theirBaccalauréat scores. The legality of this was disputed, and some rejected students threatened lawsuits and were subsequently quietly admitted, a strategy that became increasingly popular by 2002.[12] In response, in 2004, Dauphine ceased being a public university and became agrand établissement under the nameUniversité Paris-Dauphine,[5] which legally allows it to practice selective admissions.
In 2009, Université Paris-Dauphine gainedEQUIS (EFMD Quality Improvement System) accreditation, awarded by theEuropean Foundation for Management Development. It is a founding member of theExecutive DBA Council.[13]
In 2011, Université Paris-Dauphine was one of the 16 co-founders ofParis Sciences et Lettres University (PSL). On 5 November 2019, PSL became formally established as a public university, organized in the form of acollegiate university (modelled after British collegiate universities such as Oxford and Cambridge) allowing its constituent institutions to keep their legal personality.[14] On the same date, Dauphine officially became a college of PSL.[5] It now self-styles its name asUniversité Paris Dauphine - PSL.
Paris Dauphine University - PSL has a campus inTunis offering bachelors and masters programs,[15] and a campus in London offering courses in cooperation withUniversity College London.[16]
It offers joint degree programs with theAutonomous University of Madrid (in economics, management, and social sciences),[17] and withGoethe University in Frankfurt (in economic sciences).[18]
