Master Administration Publique — Sécurité publique

Tuition fees are 292 USD per year.

This master's program, known as Master Administration Publique with a specialization in Sécurité publique (public security), is offered by Université Clermont Auvergne in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Public administration covers the structure, financing, and operation of government institutions and the design and delivery of public policy. Students in this field commonly study administrative law, public management, institutional governance, and the interaction between public bodies and citizens. The public security specialization named in this program points toward a focus on the organization and oversight of security-related public services, covering topics such as the legal framework for policing and civil protection, crisis and emergency management, coordination among security agencies, and the administrative dimensions of public order and safety policy. Programs of this kind typically combine legal and administrative coursework with policy analysis and case studies drawn from security institutions, building skills in regulatory interpretation, institutional coordination, and public-sector decision-making. Students also develop familiarity with the broader administrative apparatus that supports security services at local, regional, and national levels. Graduates from public administration programs with a security focus often pursue careers within government security and civil protection agencies, local government administration, police and gendarmerie support services, or organizations involved in emergency planning and public safety policy. Some continue toward civil service examinations relevant to public security roles in France. The program is delivered at the master's level over two years, with a start date inferred to be in September. Teaching is conducted entirely in French, and the yearly tuition is 250 EUR, consistent with standard French public university fee structures for this degree level.
