Master Droit Public — Droit public général

At Université Paris Cité, tuition is 289 USD per year.

Universite Paris Cite, at its Malakoff site, offers a Master Droit Public with a Droit public general track, covering the branch of law that governs the organization of the state, public institutions, and their relationship with citizens. Core subjects typically include constitutional law, administrative law, the functioning of public authorities, and the principles governing the legality of government action. Students study how public bodies are created, structured, and held accountable, along with the remedies available when administrative decisions are challenged. The training combines theoretical study of legal principles with practical exercises such as case commentary, legal memoranda, and moot court, building skills needed to interpret legislation, regulations, and judicial decisions affecting public administration. Because public law touches nearly every area where the state interacts with individuals and businesses, the program also introduces students to related fields such as public finance, rights protections, and the organization of the judiciary. Graduates typically pursue careers in the civil service, local and national government, regulatory bodies, or legal practice specializing in public and administrative law; others prepare for competitive examinations for public sector positions or continue toward doctoral research. The program is structured over two years, culminating in a master's degree, with all instruction delivered in French. Students begin in September, and the yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Legal writing and analytical rigor remain central throughout both years of study.
