MASTER - SPECIALIZING IN LOCAL AUTHORITY LAW

The aim of the Master's degree is to train managers, project managers or project managers, who will work in public or private organizations. These may be decentralized government departments (prefectures, regional or departmental directorates), local authorities (communes, departments, regions, special-status authorities, overseas collectivities) or their groupings (public establishments for inter-communal cooperation).
The Master's degree in Local Authority Law is not limited to training civil service executives. It also opens up opportunities in private-sector organizations working with local authorities (consultancy firms, semi-public companies, local public companies, etc.). It is also an ideal training ground for students with ambitions to become lawyers specializing in public and environmental law. Because the goal of professionalization is at the heart of the Master's degree in Public Sector Law, every effort is made to ensure that students graduating from this program are ready for the professional world, and can quickly enter it. The choice of courses, the choice of lecturers (numerous professionals: local government executives, judges, lawyers, etc.), the organization of courses, the partnerships (notably with local authorities, law firms, the Montpellier IPAG, the EFACS, the Centre de Gestion de la Fonction Publique Territoriale de l'Hérault) are all guarantees that the training will be a professional springboard for students. Students have the opportunity to find a job within a few months of graduating.
