Presentation
The objective of the Master's degree in Public Administration is to prepare students for the A-level competitive examinations of the civil service. 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).
The advantages of the training
The Master's degree is open to apprenticeships within public administrations (alternating work-study).
Organization of conferences with senior officials.
Objectives
- To obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to pass the tests of the A and A+ category competitions of the civil service (entrance exam to the IRA, territorial attaché, public finance inspector, customs inspector, DGCCRF inspector, etc...)
- Pursue a Master's degree in the administration of public health institutions (M2 AEPS) or a Master's degree in higher State careers (M2CSE)
