Master Administration Publique

Tuition fees are 250 EUR per year.

Universite de Lorraine, in Nancy, France, offers the Master Administration Publique (Public Administration), a program within the discipline of public management and governance. This field studies how public institutions are organized, funded, and run, covering administrative law, public policy, public finance, and the management of public services at local, regional, and national levels. Typical subjects include the structure of public administration, budgeting and public finance, policy evaluation, administrative law, and the governance of public organizations, often illustrated through case studies of government agencies or public services. Students learn to analyze how policies are designed and implemented, how public budgets are allocated, and how administrative bodies are structured and held accountable. The discipline prepares students to work within or alongside government, applying management principles to the particular constraints and responsibilities of the public sector. Graduates commonly pursue careers as civil servants, public administrators, policy analysts, or officers within local government, ministries, or public agencies. Others work for organizations that interact closely with the public sector, such as public services, regulatory bodies, or nonprofit organizations engaged in public policy. This is a master's-level program for students who already hold an undergraduate degree and want to specialize in public administration and policy. It runs for two years and is positioned to begin in September, with annual tuition of 250 EUR. Since instruction is delivered in French, applicants should be prepared to study administrative law, policy, and governance in that language throughout their studies in this eastern French city.
