MASTER'S DEGREE - SPECIALIZATION IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT LAW

The Master's program aims to train executives, research officers, and project managers who will work in public or private organizations. These may include decentralized government services (prefectures, regional or departmental directorates), local authorities (municipalities, departments, regions, special status authorities, overseas authorities) or their groupings (public establishments for inter-municipal cooperation).
The Master's degree in Local Government Law is not limited to training civil service executives. It also offers career opportunities in private organizations working in relation to local administrations (research consultancies, consulting firms, semi-public companies, local public companies, etc.). It is also an ideal program for students who aspire to become lawyers specializing in public law and environmental law. Because the goal of professionalization 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 to enter the professional world and can quickly integrate into it. The choice of courses, the choice of lecturers (many professionals: local government executives, magistrates, lawyers, ...), the organization of courses, and partnerships (notably with local authorities, law firms, IPAG Montpellier, EFACS, and the Hérault Local Public Service Management Center) ensure that the program serves as a professional springboard for students. Students thus have the opportunity to find a job within months of obtaining their Master's degree.
