Dauphine in Their Own Words
Juliette Broudin
Recruitment and School Relations Officer at EY (Ernst & Young)
Your path : Strategic Human Resource Management Track
“My five years of studies, including my Master's degree in Strategic Human Resources Management, enabled me to develop my analytical skills, my sense of teamwork and my ability to formulate and express an opinion. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dauphine to a student, both for the academic training but also for the unique human experience it offers, especially thanks to the associations.”
Hélène Fontaine
Human Resources Manager – Havas Voyages
Your path : Human Resource Management Track
"I recommend this program because it allows us to train with a high level of requirements, to personalize our courses with options, and to create a professional network through the different opportunities that are presented to us during the year (HR events, certificates ...).
Dauphine also allows us to learn how to work “quickly and well”, to be able to manage a heavy workload because we are called upon all year round, which teaches us rigor, method, and performance.”
Doriane Dupuy
HRIS Consultant - MC2I
Your path : Human Resource Management Track
“Dauphine allowed me to comprehend organizational functioning in all its complexity and contingency. The theoretical part of the training is very rich and allows to better understanding through more technical modules (remuneration, recruitment, training, well-being at work, HRIS or project management ...) their applications within businesses. Today, I am drawing heavily on these lessons learned. Indeed, I can step back and have a better understanding of the issues involved in each project. I can look forward to a number of new opportunities with other HR functions and bring real added value to the client.”
