Master Droit Prive — Droit privé

Tuition fees are 292 USD per year.

Private law governs relationships between individuals and private entities, covering areas such as contracts, property, family matters, and civil liability. The Master Droit Prive is taught in French at Université Paris 1 - Panthéon Sorbonne in Paris, France. Students in this discipline typically study civil law, contract law, property law, family law, the law of obligations, and civil liability, building a broad foundation in the rules that govern everyday legal relationships between private parties. The field also often includes procedural law, since understanding how private disputes are brought before courts and resolved is part of a complete legal education in this area. Because private law forms the basis of much legal practice, the discipline is considered a core area of legal training, relevant to a wide range of professional paths. Graduates from this field commonly work as lawyers in private practice, notaries, judges, legal advisors for individuals and businesses, or in-house counsel handling contract and liability matters. Some pursue further specialization in areas such as family law, property law, or civil litigation. This master's degree runs for two years, with a start date in September (inferred), and is delivered entirely in French. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Applicants generally need an undergraduate legal studies background, since the program builds on foundational civil law training.
