Presentation
Description:
The License 3 "Public Administration" is designed to prepare students for the A category civil service exams. It is based on a certain number of particularities:
- One third of the teaching is done by professionals (Advisors of the Chambre Régionale des Comptes and of the Tribunal Administratif), particularly with regard to practical exercises.
- The lecturers (academic and external) frequently participate in competitive examination juries, which allows for training that is particularly focused on what examiners and graders of administrative competitions expect.
- A special effort is made to teach general culture and summary notes, which are highly selective tests in the competitive exams.
- Preparations for the oral entrance exams are also organized (on average 6 training sessions for each student).
More generally, the student trained in L3 must be able to pass a category A competitive examination in the three civil services and possibly extend his or her training in Master 1 in order to refine his or her approach towards obtaining a more targeted competitive examination (in the event of not obtaining L3) or a higher level (category A +: for example: hospital director, customs inspector) or with higher referents (holding of a compulsory master's degree: thus, E.N.M, E.N.A, territorial administrator, etc.)
