Master Droit Des Affaires

Université d'Angers offers the Master Droit Des Affaires in Angers, France, a two-year master's degree taught in French, with a yearly tuition of 250 EUR and a start date in September. Business law, or droit des affaires, focuses on the legal rules governing companies and commercial activity, including company formation and governance, contracts between businesses, competition law, mergers and acquisitions, insolvency proceedings, and international trade regulation. Students typically study company law, commercial contracts, tax law as it applies to businesses, and the mechanisms used to finance and restructure companies, alongside procedural aspects of resolving commercial disputes. Teaching generally mixes lectures with case studies drawn from real business situations, negotiation exercises, and the drafting of commercial agreements, helping students connect legal principles to the practical concerns of running or advising a company. Because business law sits at the intersection of legal reasoning and economic activity, coursework often touches on finance, accounting basics, and management concepts relevant to corporate decision-making. Graduates typically pursue careers as in-house counsel, business lawyers in private practice, compliance officers, notaries, or advisors within banks, consulting firms, and multinational companies, and some proceed toward further legal qualification. Instruction is conducted entirely in French, so strong French language skills are required to follow legal texts and classroom discussion. The program spans two years and is based in Angers, a city in western France.
