THE PROGRAM

OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW x

The AID Master’s prepares for international careers. Nearly one-third of our graduates begin their careers abroad.
Our curriculum is designed to give students a broad, yet in-depth, understanding of international, environmental and development economics, the sociology of organizations and networks, international politics and relations, international business law, global management, logistics, and finance. Our goal is to provide them with the knowledge, tools, and skills they need for their professional futures, while preparing them to exchange and work effectively with stakeholders of all types (governments, institutions, businesses, citizens).
The program’s teaching team is comprised of engaged educators, recognized for their work in the program’s fields of expertise. They are key to our students’ academic experience and help them shape their professional futures.
AID is a 2-year program. In Year 1, students follow a common core curriculum and choose between 3 “majors”, depending on the stream they intend to follow in Year 2. In Year 2, students select one of 7 separate “streams” (areas of specialization).

Master’s Year 2 – specialization streams

ORGANIZATION

ORGANIZATION x

Full-Time Study

Full-time AID students complete their Master’s program over 2 academic years. We advise students who have completed Year 1 of the program to take an interim year before beginning Year 2, in order to gain real-world experience, refine their career projects, and strengthen their résumé. During their interim year, students can effectuate internships in France or abroad, or complete a personal, professional, social, or humanitarian project.

Apprenticeship track

Students who choose to specialize in International Supply Chain Management or in International Economic Assessment can opt for an apprenticeship contract. Apprenticeship track students benefit from individual academic advisory at Paris-Dauphine and a corporate tutor in their company.
How your time is split between the classroom and the workplace depends on your specialization (for example: 2-3 days/week working plus a period of full-time work and the rest in the classroom …).
Click here for more information on the AID apprenticeship track.

Executive Education

With the exception of International Affairs, all 2^nd year specialization streams are open to Executive Education students. They study either exclusively with fellow Executive Education students, or alongside full-time students, depending on the specialization..

ALUMNI CAREER PATHS

ALUMNI CAREER PATHS x

May DE PERTHUIS, Management and Organization Consultant, Eurogroup Consulting
AID Master’s in International Affairs – Class of 2015
"I have been a Management and Organization Consultant with Eurogroup Consulting since June 2016. My studies at Paris-Dauphine, and in particular my AID Master’s 212, gave me the skills and tools I need to understand how organizations and their environments function (marketing, finance, economics, law …). By introducing me to new areas of study (commodity markets, geopolitics), the program broadened my outlook and reinforced my curiosity.The International Affairs specialization offers a balanced curriculum that provides a comprehensive overview of the world today.
I would like to add that the program encouraged me to develop a broad-minded, open perspective, not only because of the scope of the curriculum, but also thanks to a diverse student body. The student body is made up of people from a broad range of personal and academic backgrounds, and from a variety of countries and cultures. So, the human aspect is key. The program’s faculty (I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ms. Tanguy in particular) is incredibly committed, and the student body is active and involved, organizing or co-organizing events throughout the year (alumni encounters, conferences, study trips …).
I loved my time at Paris-Dauphine – most of all my final year! The University is dynamic, always evolving, and offers an amazing range of programs. Paris-Dauphine is also rigorous and demanding, it encourages us to push our limits and set our sights on excellence. It is a place to learn, grow, and forge lasting memories while preparing for our future careers."

Guillemette DE CHAMMARD, Head of Sustainable Development, Club Med - Asia Pacific
AID Master’s in International Affairs – Class of 2014
"I entered Paris-Dauphine in 2008, straight after my Baccalaureate (EcoSci). For the 3rd year of my Bachelor’s, I decided to specialize in the Social Sciences and Applied Economics (I wasn’t a big fan of balance sheets and income statements). So, I spent a year juggling Econometrics and Political Sociology before spending the first year of my Master’s on exchange in Berlin, followed by a year of internships, and a final academic year specializing in International Affairs. I have a real passion for physical commodity markets and have worked in the sector since graduating from Dauphine: Total Africa, an NGO in Bangladesh, and the Max Havelaar Fairtrade Foundation. I have just joined the Club Med group’s Asia Pacific division as Head of Sustainable Development – in my new job, I have the opportunity to combine my interest in environmental issues and in building sustainable supply chains with a love for field work. I believe that Dauphine fosters intellectual rigor and critical thought that each individual student then develops according to their own mind-set and personality."
