Master Administration Economique Et Sociale

Tuition fees are 250 EUR per year.

The Master Administration Economique Et Sociale, offered at Universite de Lorraine in Metz, France, is a two-year program taught in French, with a yearly tuition of 250 euros and an intake generally expected in September. Known in the French system by its acronym AES, economic and social administration is a broad, interdisciplinary field that combines economics, law, management, and sociology to train generalists capable of working across public and private sector organizations. Students in this field typically study microeconomics and macroeconomics, public and private law, management and organizational theory, sociology, and elements of political science, giving them a wide-ranging foundation rather than narrow specialization in a single discipline. Coursework often addresses public administration and policy, social and economic institutions, human resources management, and the functioning of local and national government bodies, alongside more applied business subjects such as accounting, marketing, or project management depending on the chosen track. Because AES programs are deliberately broad, they are designed to prepare students for a variety of professional paths rather than a single specific career. Graduates commonly move into roles within public administration, local government, and social and economic institutions, as well as positions in human resources, project management, and general business administration within private companies. Others pursue further specialized study or professional training built on this general foundation, using the degree as a stepping stone into more specific fields such as law, management, or public policy. As the program is delivered entirely in French, applicants need a solid command of the language to follow the wide range of subjects covered across the two years of study at the university.
