In September 2009, a new Dauphine campus opened in the heart of the business district of La Défense.
Located very near the center of Paris, La Défense is the workplace of about 160,000 employees at 2,500 companies, including 1,500 main offices (15 of these are among the 50 biggest global companies). In particular, the banking and insurance sectors are very well represented in the district.
This location means that our programs have proximity to the major multinational companies based in La Défense, and that our students have a greater chance of completing internships there.
The campus in La Défense is a space for exchange between instructional teams and companies, as well as between academic and professional experiences. It hosts approximately 1,400 students, representing about 20 Master's level programs in the form of pre-experience training or a work study, and about 10 programs in executive education.
