MASTER'S DEGREE - SPECIALIZATION IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT LAW

The Master’s program aims to train executives, research analysts, or project managers who will work within public or private organizations. These may include decentralized government agencies (prefectures, regional or departmental directorates), local governments (municipalities, departments, regions, local governments with special status, overseas local governments), or their associations (public institutions for intermunicipal cooperation).
The Master’s in Local Government Law is not limited to training civil service executives. It also offers career opportunities in private organizations that work in conjunction with local governments (engineering firms, consulting firms, semi-public companies, local public companies, etc.). It also provides an appropriate education for students who aspire to become attorneys specializing in public law and environmental law. Because professional preparation is at the heart of the Master’s in Local Government Law, every effort is made to ensure that graduates of this program are ready for the professional world and can quickly enter it. The selection of courses, the choice of instructors (many of whom are professionals: local government executives, judges, lawyers, …), the course structure, and partnerships (notably with local governments, law firms, the IPAG in Montpellier, the EFACS, and the Hérault Center for Local Public Service Management) all ensure that the program serves as a professional springboard for students. Students thus have the opportunity to find a job within months of earning their master’s degree.
