Paris Dauphine University – PSL (French: Université Paris Dauphine – PSL) is a Grande École and public institution of higher education and research based in the 16th arrondissement in Paris (France).
It is at the Dauphine Palace, also known as the NATO Palace, that the Paris Dauphine-PSL University is located. Built between 1955 and 1959, the palace was first the headquarters of NATO until 1967. Of neo-antique inspiration, described as “contemporary monumental architecture”, the NATO Palace is the work by Jacques Carlu. The building is designed in the shape of the “A” of Alliance Atlantique. It is located near the Arc de Triomphe and the Bois de Boulogne.
As of 2022, Dauphine has 9,400 students in 8 fields of study (law, economics, finance, computer science, journalism, management, mathematics, social sciences), plus 3,800 in executive education. Its status as a grand établissement, adopted in 2004, allows it to select its students.
On average, 90 to 95% of accepted students received either high distinctions or the highest distinctions at their French High School National Exam results (Examen National du Baccalauréat). While not itself having the legal status of a public university, it is a constituent college of PSL University. Dauphine is also a member of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles.
