Bachelor in Licence - Droit

Law — Licence Droit — is a three-year bachelor-level degree taught in French at the Université de Tours (37) in Tours, France, starting in September. Yearly tuition is 178 EUR. Law degrees provide systematic training in the principles, institutions, and reasoning of legal systems. In France, the Licence Droit covers both private and public law, giving students a comprehensive grounding in civil law, criminal law, constitutional law, administrative law, and European law. The French legal tradition is rooted in codified civil law, and courses introduce students to the structure of French law and the broader continental European framework. Students develop skills in legal analysis, case study interpretation, and legal writing. Core subjects typically include civil obligations, contract law, property law, and procedural rules, alongside introductions to legal history and comparative law. Workshops and practical exercises train students to identify issues, apply rules, and present reasoned legal arguments. All courses are conducted in French. The Licence Droit is the entry point to legal careers in France and typically leads to a master's degree in one of the many specialisations available, such as private law, business law, public law, or international law. Graduates go on to become lawyers, notaries, judges, public prosecutors, legal advisors, or civil servants. The three-year programme establishes the doctrinal and analytical foundation for all subsequent legal training.
