- Master's degree in environmental and sustainable development law and management
Coordinator: Catherine RIBOT
The Master's degree in ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT LAW AND MANAGEMENT has been accredited since 1999-2000 at the University of Montpellier.
This highly attractive degree trains specialized lawyers to implement environmental and sustainable development policies in the public and private sectors.
Training available for both initial and continuing training (working professionals wishing to retrain, jobseekers).
The normative framework of the environmental sector is complex and plethoric, and public authorities and companies alike are faced with restrictive regulations to manage their environments, their resources, the risks inherent in their activity, prevent or repair the damage caused by pollution, or adopt a territorial strategy of sustainable development, in a context of ecological transition.
This fast-expanding sector has reshaped the job market, opening up a wide range of opportunities and new professions in both the public and private sectors.
This Master's degree is designed as a comprehensive legal training program (M1), but is also cross-disciplinary and multidisciplinary: law - management - political science - economics, taking into account the current needs of the job market.
