MASTER - SPECIALIZATION IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT LAW

The objective of the Master's degree is to train executives, study managers or project managers, who will work in public or private organizations. These may be decentralized State 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 Authority Law is not limited to training civil service executives. It also offers opportunities in private organizations working with local governments (consulting firms, mixed economy companies, local public companies, etc.). It is also an appropriate training for students who aspire to become lawyers specialized in public law and environmental law. Because the objective of professionalization is at the heart of the Master's degree in Local Government Law, everything is done to ensure that the students who graduate from this program are operational in the professional world and can quickly integrate it. The choice of courses, the choice of lecturers (many professionals: local government executives, magistrates, lawyers, etc.), the organization of courses, the partnerships (in particular with local authorities, law firms, the IPAG of Montpellier, the EFACS, the Centre de Gestion de la Fonction Publique Territoriale de l'Hérault) are guarantees that the training is a professional springboard for the students. Students have the opportunity to find a job in the months following their graduation.
