Master 203 Dauphine as an international
i have read more than a couple of time that Dauphine's Master 203 is one of the best to break into S&T. The school is free so thats perfetct. The problem is i dont speak french, i would pursue this master (2 years) because i am a finance undergrad right now. Do u think it is worth it as a non french speaker? or french is mandatory?
And what about if it happens that im unlucky/shit and im not getting a trading offer? i think the program is very specific so if i dont land a trading offer i will finish in some risk/asset management shit job
Based on the most helpful WSO content, pursuing Dauphine's Master 203 as a non-French speaker could be challenging. While the program is highly regarded for breaking into Sales & Trading (S&T), language fluency in French is often a critical factor for success in the French job market, especially for networking and securing roles at top firms. Many top-tier opportunities in France, including S&T roles, require strong French proficiency, as highlighted in discussions about other programs like HEC.
If you are unable to secure a trading offer, the program's specificity might limit your options slightly. However, graduates from such programs often pivot into related fields like risk management or asset management, which are still solid career paths. That said, if you're aiming for S&T and lack French fluency, you might want to consider programs in more internationally oriented schools or regions where English is the primary business language.

Strong program with major recognition in France. Stronger in France than internationally ;)
It's very selective. They only take 25 people per year. Taught in English I believe but the cohort is all French so you're at a disadvantage even if you get in. And it's not free like you say, unless you get a scholarship.
Better chances doing MiF at top 3.
Not at all that program is far better than the MiF at ESCP & ESSEC. Only HEC is superior to all of them.
I meant getting into top 3 mif is easier than Dauphine 203 buddy ;)
But top 3 opens more doors than just s&t
