The first year of the program brings together academically talented students from multiple countries seeking multidisciplinary training of excellence in management and a professional pathway built on research competencies.

It provides rigorous training covering most of the fundamentals of management science (marketing, organization theory, human resources, strategy, accounting, innovation, information systems).

Specific courses are also devoted to research design, methods, and issues. Most courses follow a seminar format based on readings and discussions.

They are fully taught in English by internationally recognized researchers. The small class size (maximum of 15 participants) in the first-year fosters exchanges and ensures personalized guidance for students and their projects.

From the first year, students conduct an individual research project and write a thesis.

The research seminars ("Research in Management" and "Current and New Issues in Management") are led by members of Dauphine Recherches en Management (DRM), one of France’s largest and most prestigious management science research centers.

These seminars provide students with the opportunity to study and discuss with scholars from several research teams: Marketing (ERMES); Management and Regulation (M&R); Critical Management Studies (MOST); and Innovation and Strategy (M-Lab).

Furthermore, the fundamental courses expose students to the various specializations offered in the second year, helping them plan their academic pathway effectively.

This is a full-time, intensive training year (September to June). Depending on individual student projects, research or organizational internships may be arranged, usually starting at the end of April. A gap year with an internship may also be scheduled at the end of the first year.

Since the second-year specializations are often at least partially taught in French, students who are not fluent in French should plan to use the first year, in addition to the French as a Foreign Language courses offered by the program, to achieve the level of French required by their chosen specializations.
