Master Droit — Métiers du droit

Avignon Université offers a Master Droit, specializing in Métiers du droit, a general legal professions track based in Avignon, France. This two-year master's builds on undergraduate legal studies to prepare graduates for a range of careers in law, typically covering advanced coursework in areas such as civil law, business law, procedural law, and legal writing, alongside practical skills such as case analysis, contract drafting, and courtroom procedure. Because the program is framed around métiers du droit rather than a single specialization, it is designed to open pathways into various legal professions, including roles within law firms, corporate legal departments, public administration, or further preparation for professional examinations such as those required to become a lawyer, magistrate, or legal advisor. Students commonly develop research and argumentation skills through moot court exercises, case studies, and written legal opinions, and may complete internships or projects with legal practitioners to gain practical exposure to the profession. The program also typically addresses professional ethics and the organization of the French legal system, given that graduates may go on to sit qualifying examinations administered by bodies such as bar schools. Graduates from this type of master's pursue careers as jurists, legal counsel, or continue toward specialized professional training in law. All instruction is delivered in French. The degree spans two years, with an expected start in September, and yearly tuition is 250 EUR. It suits students with an undergraduate law background seeking broad preparation for legal careers.
