Who can apply?
The certificate is open to all 1st-year Master's students at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL, or in gap year. Students from any background or discipline are welcome.
How do you apply?
Selection is based on a cover letter and grades received at the Bachelor's level. The cover letter is a key component in assessing an applicant's motivation and capacity to remain engaged throughout the year.
Students must attach a cover letter to their application in which they explain their reasons for wanting to complete the certificate, as well as any experience (personal and/or professional) they may have in relation to sustainable development and/or social responsibility, including what they retained or understood.
There are 3 stages in the admissions process :
- Applications are submitted online through MyCandidature (available September 1 to 20, 2025).
- The selection process is done by a commission that meets only once and uses the application sent by the applicant to determine whether they are accepted to the main list or the waiting list, or otherwise denied.
- Admissions response: Applicants receive a notice about the results of the selection process on the MyCandidature platform (week of October 4, 2025)
