Academic Training Year 2025 - 2026 - subject to modification


Teaching Modalities

The Master's program consists of 450 hours of tuition from September to July. The Program is based on a combination of theoretical instruction, professionalization and practical application. Several modules are delivered in English to prepare students for international careers.

The pedagogical organization is based on five complementary dimensions:

  • Fundamental courses in auditing, Information Systems governance and management, and cybersecurity.
  • Progressive professionalization through hands-on training and soft skills.
  • Concrete case studies and role-playing.
  • A critical and multidisciplinary reflection on Information Systems audit and management practices, taking into account emerging regulatory and technological issues.
  • In-company assignments, with a high degree of professional immersion thanks to the alternating work-study program.

The program is organized into two semesters. Each semester comprises a set of compulsory courses.

The work-study schedule enables students to apply the knowledge they have acquired in the workplace immediately:

  • September: courses on campus
  • October to December: three days at the workplace; two days on campus
  • January to March: full-time in the workplace
  • April to May: three days at the workplace; two days on campus
  • July to September: full-time at the workplace

Internships and Supervised Projects

The year closes with a research paper, enabling students to delve deeper into an auditing or Information Systems governance/management issues. At the same time, students are required to take part in a collective career plan, "Master’s Engagement Initiative", aimed at promoting the Program and strengthening its ecosystem. These projects can take various forms, such as developing the alumni network (organizing events, creating a directory or a dedicated application), improving the Master's digital communication, collaborating with Dauphine Junior Conseil, launching a marketing campaign, or organizing a conference on AI auditing.

International openness is a key feature of the year, and is supported by the class’s corporate mentor or sponsor. It is based on a case study on which students work before presenting their work in English. Each year, the themes of the program evolve in line with the teaching and emerging technologies.
