Presentation
- Master's Degree in Banking and Financial Law
Academic coordinators: Adrien Tehrani – Thomas Le Gueut
The Master's degree in Banking and Financial Law is organized over two years comprising four semesters.
Objectives
The Master's program aims to train lawyers who combine a mastery of the fundamentals of French, European, and international business law with an in-depth knowledge of the rules applicable to the banking and financial sectors, in order to facilitate their professional integration, given that the program offers numerous career opportunities.
Know-how and skills
In addition to traditional training in private law, particularly business law, students specialize in banking and financial law.
In this regard, upon completion of the Master 2 program, students will have in-depth knowledge of the organization of the banking profession and financial law, the functioning of national and European supervisory authorities, and the regulations applicable to the many activities that may be carried out in this sector by lawyers working for banks or other companies, as well as by attorneys (retail banking, investment banking, asset management, listed company transactions, project financing, banking and financial regulation, etc.).
The program also includes several hours of instruction in English to perfect students' comprehension and expression in both banking and financial law, as the work environment often has a strong international dimension. English classes (20 hours) and law classes in English (over 40 hours) are offered, which is an asset for accessing jobs in France and abroad.
Students are also introduced to accounting by a certified public accountant, which helps them better understand issues related to corporate finance and financial reporting.
Finally, he develops his legal research skills and gains professional experience, as the Master's 2 program requires students to write a thesis and complete an internship or work-study program.
