Overview
- Master's in Real Estate Law
Academic Directors: François Barloy and Stéphane Benilsi
The courses offered during the first year of the Master’s in Real Estate Law are designed to provide students with the fundamental skills necessary for a specialization in real estate law, as well as additional skills that enable them to strengthen their knowledge of private and public law.
The second year of the program allows students to delve deeper into the various branches of law related to real estate and to engage in practical case studies.
The Master’s program offers a multidisciplinary curriculum that covers all aspects of public and private real estate law, including:
• Private construction law (contracts, builders’ liability, construction insurance)
• Urban planning and public construction law (urban planning, environmental law, and public contracts)
• Real estate marketing (sales, real estate development)
• Real estate management (lease law, public housing, and condominium ownership)
Objectives
The Master 2 program is designed to help students enter the workforce quickly.
As such, half of the courses are taught by a wide range of professionals (attorneys, notaries, real estate project managers, appraisers, real estate agents, etc.), which not only provides students with a practical approach to case studies but also helps them build connections with the professional community.
Organization
Open on an alternating basis
Students can pursue the Master 2 in Real Estate while working through an apprenticeship contract.
Apprentices have a dual status that allows them to enter the workforce while pursuing a university education. The academic year is thus divided into periods of instruction at the Faculty (September, October, November, then February and March) and periods of work at a company (the remaining months of the academic year).
