Admissions

The University Paris IX Dauphine is one of the very few universities allowed to legally practice the selection at the entrance of students in France. The legal vagueness related to this "status" as an experimental university allowed it to select students on the bases of their bac scores. This situation led Dauphine transitioning to the status of ''Grand établissement'' in 2004. On the other hand, there has always been a form of selection at the entrance to the 2nd cycle (graduate) for the Masters. There is no admission bar as such at Paris-Dauphine University, since many criteria are taken into account in the evaluation of a bachelor's degree. However, 94.4% of those admitted in the first year of bachelor in June 2013 had obtained a good or very good honors degree. 67% of its students achieved "Very good" (distinction – summa cum laude) in the General Baccalaureate. Regarding Dauphine's most sought-after master's degrees, the admission rate is 3%.

Student associations

Dauphine - PSL has a wide range of student associations in many fields. Among them are : * Channel 9, the audiovisual society * Dauphine Discussion Débat, the political society * Do's Musical, the musical society * Ridau – Théâtre à Dauphine, the theater society * Club Photo Dauphine, the photo society * L'Oreille de Dauphine, association organizing music festivals * Bureau Des Arts, the art student union * Le Forum, a student initiative syndicate * Cheer Up, association helping children fight against cancer * Urbaine Dauphine, a student initiative promoting the urban culture * Spi Dauphine organizing a regatta in Mediterranean sea * Dauphine MUN, the Model United Nations society * AIESEC Dauphine, the local committee of AIESEC
