Public Law - Master's Year 1

The first year of the Master’s degree in Public Law serves as the common foundation for the three Master’s 2 programs it leads to: Master 235 (Public Law and Management), Master 291 (Law and Market Regulation), and Master 299 (Advocacy and Public Affairs Law). The curriculum includes both legal and non-legal courses, providing students with a deep understanding of the tools and realities of public action.

These three second-year Master’s programs (M2) are offered in a work-study format and provide students with a wide range of professional experiences.
Such experiences represent two major assets: through hands-on professional training, students acquire practical knowledge that complements the academic content of the Master’s program and greatly increases their chances of success in interviews, examinations, and competitive entrance exams.
These work placements often lead to permanent job offers and provide students with valuable opportunities to build their professional network.

From the second semester, students choose between two majors: Public Business Law General Public Law. Both majors provide access to all three Master’s 2 programs, allowing students to align their choice with their career goals.

Additionally, this first year prepares students for the Grand Oral CRFPA, an essential step for those pursuing the bar exam (Oral examination, Summary report, and Administrative litigation procedure).

It also offers the opportunity to pursue the ENS Master of Sustainability Science alongside the programme (one available place).
