Joining a society is one of the best possible ways to get more out of your time with us
Driven by sport, art, charity or politics? You are spoilt for choice! We have dozens of societies on offer along with the Dauphine London Student Union (DLSU). Moreover, thanks to our partnership with University College London (UCL), our students have access to their hundreds of societies and sport activities.
Dauphine London Student Union (DLSU)
We want every student to feel supported in every aspect of Student Life this is where the DLSU comes into play. The DLSU (Dauphine London Student Union) is the successor of the DLU (Dauphine London Union), formed in 2015 and dissolved in 2021. Run by the students for the students, the DLSU is responsible for the representation of all students within and outside the Université. It ensures all its member's welfare and interests are protected as well as to promote student societies, clubs, sports and social activities within, and outside the campus.
All students are members of the DLSU, meaning that everyone can submit a proposal of project and funds during the Committees, although Committees are monitored by the President, Vice-President, and its 8 Officers, elected by students through democratic elections each year.

CAM (Culture, Arts & Music)
CAM started in 2015 as three distinct societies: the culture society, the art society, and the music society. In 2017, the three societies were merged into one, for better management and increased capabilities.
The CAM society is divided into 3 main divisions, but they all share the same goal - to create.
- The Photographic section is responsible for capturing every special moment you will spend at Dauphine London.
- The Cultural section organises events throughout the year such as musical outings, museum visits or food critic.
- The Music section gathers every kind of musician together so that they can play and perform during concerts.
Dau’Green Society
Dauphine London Dau'Green (sustainability) Society was formed in December 2019. Our mission is to raise awareness about the importance of sustainability in our environment and promoting best practice among students and staff on the campus. One of the main projects of our society is to establish a garden on the campus rooftop to provide organic sustainable vegetables to all students and staff. We also organise workshops, clean walks and share a lot of content on our Instagram page.
Dau'Talk Society
Dau'Talks was founded in 2020. The society has taken inspiration from the famous TedTalks, which goal is to spread ideas and share interesting stories. Through the Society, students have the oppotunity to develop their oral, conversational, and debating skills whilst sharing and discussing their interests, as any topic is welcomed.
The Society offers the following activities:
- Evening circles: evenings during which the members meet and discuss various topics
- Podcasts: recording and creation
- Attendance of seminars and talks
Dauph'International Youth
Dauph’International Youth (DIY) organises diverse missions in education and in infrastructure construction around the world.
Founded in 2018, the society undertook its first humanitarian project in Vietnam in partnership with the Dauphine Volunteering Society. Dauph’International Youth’s goal is to promote education and to offer students the possibility to give some time for others.
At the end of each year, over a period of three weeks, we organise a humanitarian mission. To ensure that all students are able to participate, we aim to raise 100% of the mission costs; these include plane tickets, accommodation, food, and vaccines.
With the DIY team, you have a great opportunity to learn about yourself and enhance your skills for both life and work while developing your awareness and engage in both your local and global community! “La jeunesse dauphinoise au service de la jeunesse du monde”
Dauphine Excursion Society
The Dauphine Excursion Society (DES) organises excursions for students and, more precisely, sports excursions all around the United Kingdom.
We are a group of fourteen first- and second-year students who have a lot of great projects in mind. Examples of visits and day-trips have been: Windsor Castle, Oxford, and cities near the seaside. We can only go with a limited number of people so we will not be able to go with everybody outside the society.
Dauphine London Event Society
The Dauphine London Event Society is dedicated to providing a unique student life experience at Université Paris Dauphine - PSL, London campus. Our role is to organise various events intercampus or through partnerships. Throughout the year, the team is in charge of several emblematic Dauphine - PSL parties such as the Halloween party, the Christmas gala, the end of the year party and others. The role of the DLE is also to open Dauphine - PSL students to meet people outside the campus. Through our partnerships, we offer students discounts to memorable inter-university parties. Lastly, in collaboration with the Student Union, we organise the integration and disintegration weekend.

Dauphine London Model United Nations
What is MUN? Model United Nations (MUN) is a simulation of how the United Nations works as an institution.
We take the role of UN Member States and discuss and debate topics in a similar format as the UN. Why is MUN so attractive? MUN is, first and foremost a public speaking exercise. It is a great way to improve one’s fluency in English, ability to express one's self publicly, and knowledge of the current global issues. It is also a great way to socialise and network.
The MUN community is completely international, and conferences are a great way to meet new people from different horizons who share common interests. Along with intense debate sessions, conferences include social events every night! What do we do as a society? As a society, our priority is to send a maximum number of students to conferences.
Conferences are inter-university events where MUN is practised at a large scale. We also organise regular training sessions on our campus. We welcome both complete beginners and more experienced students and encourage everyone to give it a try!

The society is an affiliate of the Dauphine Strategie Defense Paris, and it has been created in partnership with Kings College, UCL and Jeunes IHEDN UK.
The goal of Dauphine Strategy Defense London is to organise conferences on diplomacy and the defence sector. We are linked to the French Embassy and organise debates and discussions with other Universities on defence strategies and other global issues.
Dauphine Theatre Society
The goal of our society is to help students who have difficulties expressing themselves orally, to release the stress and anxiety that occurs when it comes to talking in public, and to help people to become spontaneous and creative by doing improv workshops, and finally to help people improve their memory skills by remembering texts.
The society aims at offering a series of workshops where the participants will present and talk about a subject of their choice or imposed to all members, and they will receive feedback and encouragement.
We also have theatre workshops with a teacher and improvement workshops. We aim to organise at least one workshop a month.
