Master Droit Public

The Master Droit Public, or Public Law, focuses on the legal rules governing the state, public administration, and the relationship between public authorities and citizens. Typical subjects include constitutional law, administrative law, public finance, European Union law, and the procedures used to challenge decisions made by public bodies. Students study how public institutions are organized, how administrative decisions are made and reviewed, and how public law interacts with areas such as environmental regulation, urban planning, and public procurement. Graduates of public law programs commonly pursue careers in public administration, as legal advisors within government agencies, as lawyers specializing in administrative litigation, or as civil servants following competitive examinations for positions in the French public sector. Others work as legal counsel for local authorities, public institutions, or organizations that regularly interact with public bodies, such as companies bidding on public contracts. This Master Droit Public is offered by Université de Picardie Jules-Verne in Amiens Cedex 1, France. The program lasts 2 years, with an inferred start date in September, and instruction is delivered in French. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Applicants should have a solid foundation in French legal studies, since the program builds on constitutional and administrative law concepts introduced earlier in legal education and requires strong analytical and writing skills.
