Overview
The newest degree program offered by the Center for Corporate Law, this master’s program aims to train, following completion of the first year of a master’s degree in estate planning or business law, top-tier legal professionals specializing in estate planning.
Objectives
The goal of the faculty teaching the Master II in Law and Estate Taxation at the Faculty of Law and Political Science in Montpellier (MII DFP in Montpellier) is to train specialized legal professionals who also possess cross-disciplinary skills.
Organization
Special Features
The Master 2 DFP program has decided to offer students the option of pursuing their studies through an apprenticeship. Thus, signing an apprenticeship contract allows students to alternate between academic and vocational training.
With this additional professional experience, students’ transition into the workforce will be all the easier, and their academic program will be all the more valuable as a result.
It should be noted that students in work-study programs are paid throughout the year, even while they are at the university. In addition, it is also an opportunity to begin building professional connections.
This possibility can sometimes be daunting for students, who may worry that they won’t be able to balance their Master’s coursework with their work commitments. In response to these concerns, the director of the M2 DFP program decided that class schedules should be identical for students in continuing education and those in the traditional program. This ensures that the curriculum is tailored to each student’s background. As a result, no student is given preferential treatment, regardless of their choice.
