Master Droit Prive — Droit privé général

At Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne, the tuition fee is 292 USD per year.

Covering the general theory of obligations, contracts, and property, the Droit privé général track of Master Droit Privé is a two-year master's degree taught at Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne in Reims Cedex, France, delivered in French. Private law is the field governing legal relationships between individuals and private entities, encompassing contracts, property, family law, business law, and civil liability. Students in this discipline typically study the general theory of obligations, contract law, property law, and the civil code provisions that structure everyday legal relationships in France. Coursework generally covers how contracts are formed and enforced, how property rights are established and transferred, and how civil liability is determined when one party causes harm to another. Because this track is described as general private law, students can expect broad coverage across the core areas of the discipline rather than concentration in a single specialty, building a comprehensive foundation across contract, property, family, and civil liability law. The discipline also typically includes comparative and theoretical study of legal concepts, along with practical exercises analyzing case law and drafting legal documents. Students develop the analytical skills needed to interpret statutes and judicial decisions and apply them to concrete legal problems. Graduates from general private law programs commonly pursue careers as legal advisors, in-house counsel, notarial or judicial clerks, or continue toward qualification as practicing lawyers through the French bar examination. Some proceed to further specialization in a particular area of private law. The program runs over two years, begins in September, and has a yearly tuition of 250 EUR, delivered in French at the Reims campus.
