In Master 1, 48% of the teaching is shared with the Public Law major, but specialised knowledge is introduced in the first year and reinforced and supplemented throughout Master 2, in addition to content relating to the major issues in public law. Particular emphasis is placed on practical exercises and professional development, as evidenced in the second year by the compulsory 4-6 month work placement.

The course draws on the work and expertise developed within the Institut Louis Favoreu / GERJC.

It also provides training in reflection, since Master 1 introduces students to research and requires them to produce a report, while Master 2 culminates in an internship and a dissertation.
