On the 5th of November 2020, Dauphine - PSL has had its EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System) accreditation renewed.


Université Paris Dauphine-PSL has had its EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System) accreditation renewed for five years. According to the auditors, this is an endorsement of Dauphine-PSL’s strategy and an appreciation for the significant progress the institution has made since its last accreditation review. 

Patrice Geoffron, Interim Director of Université Paris Dauphine-PSL, is delighted by the news, declaring “For us, this accreditation is a recognition of how committed our staff and students are on a daily basis. It’s a testimony to our efforts in areas that we see as essential, whether those are high-quality research, the values of social responsibility, or the public aspect of our work. This accreditation is both a recognition of our work to date and an invitation to keep doing what we’re doing at Dauphine-PSL."

The jury lauded the following as strengths of the Dauphine-PSL program:
  • The rigor of the academic training, whose thoughtfully-constructed and student-centered curriculum combines soft skills with innovative pedagogical outcomes. 
  • The sense of belonging and engagement expressed by students, who are supported by Dauphine-PSL and an extensive alumni network throughout their training and onwards into their transition to professional life. 
  • The internationally-recognized quality of the teaching and research faculty. Dauphine - PSL is a major international center of interdisciplinary research. 
  • The focus on ethical engagement, responsibility, and sustainability (RSU) that have guided Dauphine-PSL’s strategic planning since 2016. 
  • Last but not least, the university’s strong connections to the corporate world are most definitely an advantage.

Dauphine-PSL is the first and only French university to be accredited by EQUIS (189 institutions in 40 countries). It was first accredited for 3 years, from 2009 to 2012, before receiving a five-year accreditation in 2015.
