Presentation
The aim of the "Public Administration" Master's program is 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).
Training benefits
The Master's degree is open to apprenticeships within public administrations (sandwich courses).
Organization of conferences with senior civil servants.
Objectives
- Acquire the knowledge and skills needed to pass the exams for A and A+ category civil service competitions (IRA entrance exam, territorial attaché, public finance inspector, customs inspector, DGCCRF inspector, etc.).
- Continue on to Master 2 Administration des établissements publics de santé (M2 AEPS) or Master 2 Carrières supérieures de l'État (M2CSE)
