GLOBAL BACHELOR DAUPHINE LONDON
Commencing in the 2014 academic year, the Global Bachelor Dauphine London offers
students who have completed their senior high school year (in Economics-Sociology or in
Science) an opportunity to further their studieswith a university two-year course in
Economics-Management at the University of Paris Dauphine campus located in the heart of
London.

AN INOVATICE STRUCTURE
The Global Bachelor Dauphine London is similar to studying for your first year of university in
Paris. The courses, however, will be largely taught in English by Englishspeaking
Frenchspeaking professors from both French and English schools. This programme is
adapted to the British learning environment and proposes numerous extracurricular activities
led by local professors. It also benefits from the support of the Dauphine alumni network in
London.
The homogeneity of the programme and its development are ensured by:
- a syllabus for each course, including the Head of the course in Paris as well as the
Professor at the London campus. These two Heads are in regular contact and meet annually;
- a Development Council, which aims to discuss the orientation of the programme from an
academic point of view as well as its professional utility. Part of this Council’s mission is to
inform the Heads of the programme of any social or professional developments which may
be integrated into the programme in order to facilitate the professional development and
opportunities of the students by ensuring the relevance of the skills taught. The Council is
composed of professors, adjunct faculty members, student representatives and the Head of
the programme.
The entering Class of 2014 is composed of approximately 30 recruited students with priority
given to the graduates from French high schools abroad. The programme is housed in the
centre of London in the Institut Français (IFRU) building near the Charles de Gaulle high
school.
Dauphine is strongly committed to offering students who have been influenced by an
international experience the possibility to study for their first two years of university in an
Anglophone and multicultural environment.
5
CONTINUING YOUR STUDIES
At the end of your two years in London, you can continue your third year of studies in Paris
or at one of Dauphine’s many international partners. The University of Paris Dauphine has a
number of partnerships and exchange programmes with over fifty different schools
internationally, which opens the door to students wishing to complete a double-degree
programme.

EDUCATION COACHING/ GUIDANCE
Sylvie Rolland, Associate Professor and Head of the Programme, is responsible for the
academic coordination and operation of the Global Bachelor Dauphine London. In this role,
she will hold office hours for students each week.
Contact: Sylvie ROLLAND, Programme Manager, [email protected]
In order to help students settle in London, Dauphine offers various administrative services.
These services are particularly useful when looking for accommodation.
Contact: Julie GINEZ, Programme assistant, [email protected]
IMPORTANT
Students are required to bring a laptop computer in class. This will help them in accessing
the online education platforms as well as a univeristy calculator for statistics courses (all
other calculators are prohibited).

ACCOUNTING
Course objectives:
Semester 1 - This course aims to give students an accounting culture sufficient to
understand the major developments of capitalism. Accounting is, in this course, seen as an
instrument of capital finance. For this reason, the course is based on a historical and
comparative dimension.
This approach is not based on techniques geared at recording financial flows within a
company. The idea, rather, is to understand that an accounting result is a social construction,
the fruit of tensions between the divergent interest groups (shareholders, employees,
government). The international dimension is an integral part of this course as the Anglo-
Saxon and continental accounting systems are systematically put into perspective and
discussed.
Semestre 2
Regardless of the fact that the second part of this course accentuates the technical
dimension of accounting, it aims to give students an accounting culture sufficient to
understand the major developments of capitalism. Accounting is, in this course, seen as an
instrument of capital finance. For this reason, the course is based on a historical and
comparative dimension. This approach is not based on techniques geared at recording
financial flows within a company. The idea, rather, is to understand that an accounting result
is a social construction, the fruit of tensions between the divergent interest groups
(shareholders, employees, government). The international dimension is an integral part of
this course as the Anglo-Saxon and continental accounting systems are systematically put
into perspective and discussed.
Course language : English

Course Content:
Semester 1
Chapter 1: Balance sheets as well as profit and loss accounts/ income statements in Anglo-
Saxon accounting (alpha case, beta case, smoc case)

LANGUAGES
In the context of their studies, students of the Global Bachelor will take a course in
specialised English, adapted to the current issues in contemporary society and
communication techniques.
Students are also offered an optional course in a language of their choice: German, Spanish
or Mandarin.
This optional course aims to introduce or reinforce students’ linguistic knowledge. The
language courses are offered according to the student’s level (beginner, intermediate,
advanced).

CAMPUS LIFE
The University of Paris Dauphine is
unique in the richness and diversity of its
student associations, which is the
cornerstone of its dynamic campus life.
The London campus, like its Paris
counterpart, offers a variety of
conferences, which will feature
emblematic figures in the world of
Economics such as Joseph Stiglitz, Georges Ayittey, Daniel Cohen and Nassim Nicholas
Taleb thanks to its partnership with the BBC. For more information about these conferences,

CONSULT BBC PODCASTS : http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01brr6f
Like on the Paris campus, a Dauphine Student Association will be created in London to
respond to students’ particular needs and expectation. This will be achieved through
numerous extracurricular activities promoting the spirit of the London student body. The
London Student Association will be put in contact will their fellow members in Paris in order
to create a synergy between the two campus.
- The mission of the Association will be to organise a series of annual conferences by uniting
renowned personalities around a current theme, and to do so using the template of the
Parisian Dauphine Discussion Debate.
- This former Parisian association has brought the following notable personalities to the
university: Anne Hidalgo, Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, Louis Gallois, Bruno le Roux, Jean-
François Copé, Frédéric Oudéa and Gérard Mestrallet.

In addition, a partnership with the Dauphine student newspaper La Plume has been created
for the 2014 London commencement.
La Plume: http://laplumedauphine.fr/
La Plume is the University of Paris Dauphine’s free student newspaper. This new medium of
expression within the university aims to encourage reflection and the sharing of information
between professors and students. The goal of La Plume is to represent the reality of the daily
lives of Dauphine students rather than to deliver current news and to do so through a lens of
its own. La Plume is modern, dynamic and reactive.
To accomplish this goal, a motivated team of students work to deliver amusing opinions and
analysis full of awareness, humour and fun. Their objective is to incite your participation
through direct interaction with the newspaper and to thereby discover new and untapped
talent.
What are the expectations of the members and contributors of the newspaper?
Every Dauphine student can become a contributor by writing timely articles for La Plume that
relate to one of the newspaper’s general topics: Dauphine News, Economic and Political
Analysis, Social Debate, International, Culture, Sports, Free Expression.
The articles accepted for publication will be featured on the La Plume website or in the
newspaper available at the university. It is also possible to become a member of the
newspaper. An interview regarding your motivation will be held with the main office in Paris
over Skype in October. On the basis of a 20€ registration fee, selected students undertake to
write a minimum of four English language articles within the year. A follow-up team is in
place to provide support between Paris and London.
