Presentation

The MAGISTÈREDROIT PUBLICAPPLIQUÉ is a three-year DU (University Diploma) which, in addition to the courses offered in the License 3, Master 1, and Master 2 programs, offers students the opportunity to put public law into practice through case studies, practical situations, and the handling of files submitted by public law professionals, lawyers, public officials, and administrative and judicial magistrates. The training is also accompanied by courses given by academics, offering students the fundamental elements of subjects not covered by the chosen course (elements of private law) and highly specialized courses in the third year of the Magisterium.
The Magisterium corresponds to a demand from legal practitioners who thus welcome students with a practical and applied vision of public law as a complement to their initial training
