Presentation
Description :
The Licence 3 "Administration Publique" is designed to prepare students for the A-level civil service entrance examinations. It is based on a number of specific features:
- A third of the teaching is carried out by professionals (advisors from the Chambre Régionale des Comptes and the Tribunal Administratif), particularly for practical exercises.
- Lecturers (both university and external) frequently take part in competitive examination juries, which means that the training is particularly focused on what examiners and markers of administrative competitions expect.
- A special effort is made to teach general culture and summary notes, which are highly selective tests in the competitive entrance exams.
- Preparations for the oral entrance exam are also organized (an average of 6 practice sessions for each student).
More generally, students trained in L3 should be in a position to pass a category A competitive examination in the 3 civil services, and possibly to extend their training in Master 1 in order to refine their approach towards a more targeted competitive examination (in the event of not passing L3), or a higher level one (category A +: for example: hospital director, customs inspector), or one with a higher reference level (holding a compulsory master's degree: for example, E.N.M, E.N.A, territorial administrator, etc.).
Objectives
Learning objectives :
- Academic objective: obtain a bachelor's degree that will enable you to go on to a master's degree.
- Competitive examination objective: obtain the required level (bachelor's degree) to sit the A category competitive examinations and benefit from customized preparation to pass the tests.
