Presentation

The courses offered in the first year of the Master's degree in Personal and Family Law are designed to provide a common foundation of knowledge in the field, with a view to specialization in the second year (M2).
This enables students to acquire new knowledge, particularly in Civil Law, and to give it a European dimension.
The second year of the course enables students to study in greater depth the various rights relating to individuals and the family. Master 2 is open to apprenticeships.
This specialization enables students to take a critical look at how the law responds to the major issues facing society: the human person, couples and children.
