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 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 bachelor in June 2013 had obtained a good or very good honors degree.
67% of its students achieved "Very good" in the General Baccalaureate. Regarding Dauphine's most sought-after master's degrees, the admission rate is 3%.
