Presentation
The MAGISTÈREDROIT PUBLICAPPLIQUÉ is a three-year DU (University Diploma) which, in addition to the teaching provided in the Licence 3, Master 1 and Master 2 courses, offers practical experience of public law through case studies, practical exercises and the handling of files submitted by public law professionals, lawyers, public officials and administrative and judicial magistrates. The program is also accompanied by courses taught by academics, providing students with the fundamentals of subjects not covered by their chosen course (elements of private law), and highly specialized teaching in the third year of the Magistère.
The Magistère is a response to demand from legal practitioners, who welcome students with a practical, applied vision of public law to complement their initial training.
