Double Degree in Business Transformation with Paris Dauphine University France
Program Highlights
The program will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate organizational change successfully. The versatility gained from having two qualifications will help you access a wide range of career paths and opportunities, giving you greater flexibility in your professional journey.
This program is structured as follows:
- the first year takes place at Luiss (Rome)
- the second year takes place in Paris Dauphine University (Paris)
As part of the program, you will take part in the so-called "alternance," where you will alternate between periods of classroom-based learning and periods of work experience in a company related to your field of study. This is one of the program’s strengths, but at the same time it requires a solid command of the French language as well as some prior work experience. For this reason, we require a B2-level French certificate and evidence of previous work experience as part of our eligibility criteria (see below).
You can find more detailed information about the programme criteria (French level, memoir and alternance) in the Infopack available in the useful documents sections of this web page.
