Program Objectives

The SIEE program aims to train established or future professionals in the techniques and methods of audit and consulting for extended enterprise information systems. Information Systems (technologies and individuals) are key parts of any organization. A work-study schedule ensures that there is always alignment between the material covered in courses and professional realities on the ground.

Students can take courses in Paris or at Université Paris Dauphine – PSL’s Tunis campus.
Increasing international awareness is a key element of the curriculum and is facilitated in collaboration with partner universities and companies. It takes the form of theoretical courses and case studies that students research before presenting a report in English. These end-of-semester reports are presented to a review panel of academics and professionals from the host country. The themes change from year to year but are always connected to course content and emerging technologies.

The objectives of this program are:

  • Beginning with risk management, become expert in the conceptual and methodological framework of a computational auditing approach, particularly when it comes to auditing information technology, applications, projects, and AI.
  • Understand and become expert in cybersecurity issues and emerging risks
  • Take a critical, reflexive approach to different practices while understanding the specificities of any given organization in a context of increasing data regulation
  • Take advantage of emerging technologies to apply this approach to information systems: AI and Big Data,
  • Develop the soft skills required of an auditor for oral and written communication: make pertinent recommendations, write and present audit reports
  • 20% of courses are taught in English in order to help students be able to audit and advise international organizations

When you enroll in a Master’s program, you also join Université PSL. Ranked in the top 50 universities in the world (THE and QS), PSL offers excellent graduate programs at the Master’s and PhD level, which benefit from the scientific capabilities of its member institutions. The degree is completed at the Université Paris Dauphine-PSL and awarded by Université PSL.

Teaching Modalities

The program consists of around 400 hours of instruction, spread out between September and September. Several courses are taught in English.

Courses fit into one of five key categories:

  • Core theoretical courses,
  • Professionalization courses tailored to the position of auditor of information systems
  • Practical applications (based on case studies)
  • Critical, reflexive approach to different practices from an interdisciplinary perspective
  • Company assignments

For students pursuing an apprenticeship, the year is structured on a rotational model, according to the following schedule:

  • September: courses on campus
  • October to December: three days at the workplace; two days on campus
  • January to March: full-time in the workplace
  • From April to May: three days at the workplace; two days on campus
  • July to September: full-time at the workplace

Internships and Supervised Projects 

At the end of the year, students produce and defend a thesis. Students in the SIEE Master’s program are expected to demonstrate their commitment through professional projects called “Projects of Commitment to the Master’s program”. These are required for all members of the Master’s cohort. For example:

  • Strengthen the alumni network: organize an alumni event
  • Convert the paper-based alumni directory into an app
  • Create a digital identity for the program / improve digital communication
  • MACSI – Dauphine Junior Consulting
  • Launch a marketing campaign
  • Organize an “IA Auditing” conference
  • Strengthen ties with the Dauphine campus in Tunis
  • International Awareness

Increasing international awareness is a key element of the curriculum and is facilitated in partnership with a university with an equivalent Master’s program. It takes the form of theoretical courses and case studies that students research before presenting a report in English. The themes change from year to year but are always connected to course content and emerging technologies.

Who can apply ?

  • Students who have completed a BAC+4 degree (a four-year degree worth 240 ECTS credits) or equivalent at Dauphine, another university, a business or engineering school, or another institution of higher education in one of the following disciplines: computer science, management
  • Students who have completed a BAC+5 degree (a three-year degree worth 300 ECTS) in one of the following disciplines: computer science, management, or another discipline
  • Students with a strong interest in digitality, including the new perspectives digital approaches can provide and the limitations of those approaches.

How to apply ?

  • There are three steps to the admissions process:

    1. An online application
