“Good but...”
Jean C
France,
Management Science, 2023
OverallAs a student at Dauphine University's London campus, I have had a mostly positive experience, but there are a few areas where I think the university could improve.
One of the biggest issues I have encountered is the overall organisation of the university. There have been a few instances where communication has been unclear or delayed, making it difficult to plan my schedule and stay on top of deadlines. Additionally, I have found that the administrative processes can be slow and frustrating, with long wait times and a lack of transparency about what is happening.
Another area where I think Dauphine University falls short is in their support for students' professional projects. While the university offers internships and other opportunities for practical experience, I have not found that they are particularly helpful in guiding me towards opportunities that align with my specific career goals. There is a lack of career services and mentorship programs that would be beneficial to students who are looking to develop their professional skills and networks.
Overall, while I have enjoyed my time at Dauphine University's London campus, there are definitely some areas where the university could make improvements to better support their students.

That you have to wait to get to know people from Paris - they don't welcome you with open arms.

In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
The level even rose - they changed it into a "Grande École" - be careful with courses in French if you aren't familiar with the language - they are even hard for the French students - for example "Finance" or "Comptabilité" - and don't expect good grades - the average grade is 12 which is a bit more than pass - 18-20 don't exist and only the best of class will receive 15/16!

Final comments
Plan your stay carefully, take your time to get to know the people and the culture and try to explore France on yourself - its culture.....and don't expect to push your studies quickly - that won't be possible if ypu aren't a native or nearly native!

Dauphine is a name talking to almost everyone in France! Its reputation is undisputed! On the other hand, lots of hard work attends any students wanting to profit from this reputation.

Interested students should carefully consider the pros and cons of a participation in the PDD mentioned above.
Travel tips:
Paris offers you a lot - may be more than you can see during 1,5 years. Unfortunately there isn't a lot of time to travel and discover the country.
One should definitely participate in the following events:
- Ski-Etudes, one week in March(?!) in the snow with courses at the face you have to attend to get to ski pass! Great experience!
- Week end d'integration, students communities organise these events at the start of the academical year. You leave Paris for a non-stop party - 2/3 unforgettable days where you definitely get in contact with many cool people...

The whole experience was amazing but I wouldn't say that it was because of the host university. It's where you are (host country) and who you meet that makes it so great.
