Université Dauphine Tunis

What Université Dauphine Tunis does

Université Dauphine Tunis is the first international campus of Université Paris Dauphine-PSL, established in 2014 in Tunis, Tunisia. Operating as a private higher education institution under the PSL umbrella (PSL ranked 34th globally in QS 2027 and 1st among French universities), it delivers dual French-Tunisian diplomas at the licence and master levels, specializing in Sciences des Organisations et de la Décision. Its core academic portfolio comprises two undergraduate programmes (Licence Sciences des Organisations; Licence Mathématiques et Intelligence Artificielle) and four master's specializations (Finance; Artificial Intelligence, Data and Agentic; Ingénierie Actuarielle; Systèmes d'Information, Réseaux et Numérique), with annual master's capacity of approximately 105 seats. The institution generates revenue across five streams: initial training tuition, executive education (including an Executive Master in Islamic Finance priced at EUR 5,000-6,000 and an Executive MBA IP), 15+ professional certificates, seasonal summer programmes (AI Summer School, Math+, Python and Business Lab boot camps for ages 14-18), and corporate-sponsored work-study tuition through the UJobs partnership programme with employers such as PWC, ERMPartners, and Tech & Trust Consulting.

Distribution combines on-campus delivery in Tunis with hybrid executive education formats (two evenings online plus two-week residencies) and remote sessions for the BAC A DAU baccalaureate preparation programme via partner Eunoia Academy. Proprietary technology includes an AI-based adaptive learning platform with pedagogical agents for prerequisite verification and personalized progression, an AI-powered Math+ tutoring system, and the Tekouin online learning platform for Python boot camps. The Executive Education division has trained over 1,000 managers and executives since 2014, supported by 50+ corporate partners and 70+ external professional speakers. Strategic positioning leverages the PSL academic brand for international recognition, the SOA UCAP-AC actuarial certification (first in the Maghreb), and emerging African partnerships (BGFI Business School for banking sector training, CIESPAC for CEMAC-region health systems training) to position the institution as a bridge between European academic standards and African professional markets.
