Bachelor in Licence - Droit

The Licence - Droit at Aix-Marseille Université, site de Marseille Espace Canebière in Marseille, France is a three-year bachelor-level law degree delivered in French from September, with a yearly tuition of 178 EUR. A law licence introduces students to the foundations of the French and European legal systems, covering civil law, criminal law, public law, constitutional and administrative law, contract law, and procedural rules. Courses develop the capacity to read statutes and judicial decisions, apply legal reasoning, and engage with the doctrinal debates that shape legal practice. Students also gain exposure to business law and private international law as the programme progresses. This degree serves as the foundation for all legal professions in France: the bar, the notariat, court administration, legal counsel in business, and the judiciary. Most graduates continue to a master's in law, while others sit competitive examinations for entry into the public service or pursue careers in compliance, insurance, or legal journalism.
