Dauphine in Their Own Words
As a student in a Franco-German double-degree program between the Université Paris Dauphine - PSL and Goethe University of Frankfurt, I had the opportunity to do a year of work-study in a large German industrial group.
This experience was very enriching for my professional career, since I was able to contribute directly to company projects and thus evolve in a multicultural professional environment, where the practice of German was a real advantage for my integration.
I was able to put to good use the language skills I had acquired as part of my Franco-German double degree in the various missions I was assigned during my work-study program, and to participate in my own way in achieving my company's objectives.
