Master Management Public — Management Public Territorial (MPT)

Université Rennes 2 offers the Master Management Public — Management Public Territorial (MPT) as a two-year master's programme based in Rennes Cédex, France, taught in French. Public management studies how public sector organisations, including government bodies and public services, are administered, financed, and evaluated, while a territorial focus looks specifically at how local and regional authorities manage public services, budgets, and policy within a defined geographic area. Students in this kind of programme typically study public administration and law, local government finance, territorial policy and planning, public project management, and the governance structures that connect national, regional, and local levels of public administration. Coursework generally combines theoretical grounding in public management and administrative law with applied training in budgeting, project design, and the evaluation of local public services, often supported by case studies drawn from municipal, regional, or intercommunal authorities. Internships within local government bodies, public agencies, or organisations working with territorial authorities are a common component, giving students direct experience with the practical operation of public management at the local level. A dissertation or applied project addressing a territorial management question is typically required to complete the degree. Graduates from territorial public management programmes commonly pursue careers within local and regional government administration, public agencies, intercommunal bodies, or consulting roles supporting territorial policy and project management. The programme spans two years, starts in September, and carries a yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Since instruction is delivered in French, applicants should have solid proficiency in the language to follow coursework and complete placements throughout the two years of study.
