Research is a central activity within the Faculty of Law and Political Science of Aix-Marseille University, at the heart of the mission of its teacher-researchers. Through study days, colloquia, collective publications and field research, the Faculty of Law's teacher-researchers conduct ambitious and stimulating research in order to strengthen the quality and attractiveness of our courses.

The Faculty of Law and Political Science of Aix-Marseille has made international openness one of its major areas of development. The Faculty has a long tradition of welcoming and opening up to the world, which contributes to its influence and development and makes it a centre of knowledge open to students and researchers from around the world.

Because of its geographical location, the FDSP has developed privileged relations with academic partners in the Mediterranean area. However, the scope of its international relations goes far beyond this geographical area and extends to Europe, of course, but also to the whole world: it is based on partnerships of excellence with universities on all five continents.

For more than 600 years, the Faculty of Law and Political Science has been able to evolve and adapt to its environment in order to contribute to the economic development of its territory and support the employment of its young graduates. Thus, as several studies have pointed out, "1 euro invested in higher education means 4 euros of spin-offs for the local economy".

In order to be as close as possible to the expectations of the professional world, the FDSP has developed numerous partnerships over the years and has constantly increased the number of its training courses eligible for work-study.

At the heart of the Faculty of Law and Political Science, students benefit from a location at the heart of urban, cultural and sporting life. Access to the various sites is greatly facilitated by a well-developed and efficient public transport network. In order to allow students to achieve their objectives in the best possible conditions, all amenities are nearby, the premises are regularly renovated and the outdoor areas are developed and improved for a pleasant study environment. They are also supported by numerous student associations which offer them assistance and various events.
