The University Paris-Dauphine is opening a Passerelle Diploma (DU), intended for refugees or people awaiting protection, under 35 years old, who wish to resume their studies in France.
The program will take place over two semesters, from September 2020 to May 2021. It is intended for people who :

The program offers 12 hours of French classes per week, oriented towards the university objective. English classes, tutoring sessions, and methodology workshops are also offered.
Each participant will benefit from individual coaching, with a university teacher as a mentor and a student as a tutor. The coaching aims, in particular, to prepare orientation and applications for the courses.
