History

edit

Opened on October 5, 2009, the university initially offered two bachelor's degrees: one in business administration and applied economics, and another in mathematics and applied computer science in economics and business.[1]

In 2011, it enrolled about 80 students, more than half of whom came from the French high schools Lycée Pierre-Mendès-France and Lycée Gustave-Flaubert (La Marsa), paying 6,500 Tunisian dinars per year.[2]

Starting in 2014, a master's program in actuarial science was launched,[3] followed by two masters in big data and information systems management in 2016,[4] and another in Islamic finance in 2018.[5] Integrated masters in audit and consulting, combining training and professional experience in Tunisian firms, complement this offering.[6]

Status

edit

The institution is a subsidiary of Paris-Dauphine University, which owns 33% of the shares in the joint stock company, alongside Banque de Tunisie and Arab International Bank of Tunisia.[2]

As a subsidiary, it offers the same examination subjects to its students, with professors from Paris teaching more than half of the courses as of 2011.[2]

Leadership

edit

At its inception, the university was led by Ridha Ferchiou,[1] with Elyès Jouini serving as vice-president,[2] and as of March 31, 2014, Amina Bouzguenda Zeghal was appointed as the General Director.[7]
