Master Droit De L'Environnement

Tuition fees are 250 EUR per year.

Master Droit de l'Environnement at Aix-Marseille Université in Aix-En-Provence, France is a two-year graduate program in environmental law. This branch of law governs the relationship between human activity and the natural environment, covering topics such as pollution control, natural resource management, biodiversity protection, climate regulation, environmental liability, and the permitting processes that apply to industrial and commercial projects. Students typically study public and private environmental law, international and European environmental regulation, administrative law as it applies to environmental permitting, and the legal frameworks surrounding energy, water, waste, and land use. Coursework often includes case analysis, legal writing, and moot exercises that mirror the disputes and regulatory questions environmental lawyers handle in practice. Because environmental law sits at the intersection of legal, scientific, and policy considerations, programs in the field also expose students to the scientific and economic context behind environmental regulation, helping them understand the issues their future clients or employers will face. Graduates commonly pursue careers as legal counsel for public authorities, environmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, or private companies with environmental compliance obligations, as well as roles in law firms specializing in environmental and regulatory matters. Some continue toward the bar examination to practice as advocates, while others move into policy or compliance roles within government or industry. The program runs for two years, leading to a master's degree, with a September start. All instruction is in French, so applicants need strong legal French to handle statutes, case law, and academic writing. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Prospective students in Aix-En-Provence should have an undergraduate legal background and the French language proficiency needed for advanced legal study.

Aix-Marseille University is the largest multidisciplinary French-speaking university, hosting 80,000 students and 8,000 staff across five large campuses. It is a research-intensive institution known for its international outlook and commitment to academic excellence.
