Master Droit Des Assurances — Assurances

Master Droit Des Assurances — Assurances is a master's program offered by Université Paris-Panthéon-Assas in Paris, France, taught in French over two years, with an expected start in September and yearly tuition of EUR 250. Insurance law covers the legal framework that governs how insurance contracts are formed, interpreted, and enforced, along with the regulatory bodies that supervise insurers and reinsurers. Students in this field typically study contract law as it applies to policies, liability regimes, claims handling, and the obligations owed by insurers to policyholders. Coursework often addresses specific insurance lines such as property, casualty, health, life, and marine insurance, as well as the reinsurance mechanisms that spread risk across the market. Because insurance intersects with civil law, commercial law, and administrative regulation, students also examine how national and European rules shape licensing, solvency requirements, and consumer protection in the sector. Dispute resolution is another recurring theme, including litigation over coverage disputes, subrogation, and the role of insurance in compensating damages after accidents or disasters. Graduates from programs in this discipline commonly pursue careers as in-house counsel for insurance companies, brokers, or reinsurers, as well as roles in claims management, compliance, and regulatory affairs. Some go on to specialize in risk management consulting or join law firms with insurance litigation practices. The field also connects to broader areas of financial regulation, given the role insurers play as institutional investors. Students who choose this path generally have an interest in the interaction between private contract law and the public interest functions that insurance serves in spreading and managing risk across individuals and businesses. Instruction for this program is delivered in French at the Paris-Panthéon-Assas campus.
