Bachelor in Licence - Droit

The Licence - Droit at Université d'Amiens in Amiens, France, is a three-year bachelor's degree in law taught in French. Legal studies at this level provide a systematic introduction to the French legal system and the principles that underpin it. Students work through constitutional law, civil law, criminal law, administrative law, and private law, building a thorough understanding of how rules are created, interpreted, and applied in different contexts. The programme also addresses European Union law and the fundamentals of private international law, equipping students to understand the interaction between domestic legal orders and supranational frameworks. Skills developed include legal reasoning, statutory interpretation, case analysis, and the drafting of legal documents and memos. Students learn to construct and present legal arguments both in writing and orally, a competence valued across a wide range of professional settings. Alongside doctrinal subjects, the curriculum typically introduces students to legal research methodology and the use of legal databases. Graduates may proceed to a master's in law, undertake professional training for the bar or the judiciary, enter notarial studies, or pursue careers in public administration, human resources, corporate compliance, or business management. The degree starts in September and lasts 3 years. Annual tuition is 178 EUR. All teaching takes place in French.
