Master Droit Des Affaires

Aix-Marseille University is the largest multidisciplinary French-speaking university, hosting 80,000 students and 8,000 staff across five large campuses. It is a research-intensive institution known for its international outlook and commitment to academic excellence.

This master's program in business law (Master Droit Des Affaires) is offered by Aix-Marseille Université in Aix-En-Provence Cedex 1, France, with instruction delivered in French. Business law is the area of legal study that governs the formation, operation, financing, and dissolution of companies, along with the contracts and transactions that businesses rely on. Common subjects in this field include corporate law, contract law, competition law, mergers and acquisitions, commercial litigation, and banking and finance law. Students typically work through detailed case studies and legal texts while also developing practical skills in drafting contracts and advising on corporate transactions. The discipline prepares graduates for careers as business lawyers, in-house legal counsel, corporate compliance officers, and advisors within banks, investment firms, or consulting companies. Some graduates specialize further in areas such as mergers and acquisitions, tax law, or international trade law, while others move into management roles that draw on their legal training. Because business law programs are closely tied to the practical needs of companies, many combine academic instruction with internships or applied projects involving real legal or commercial questions. This master's degree runs for two years and is expected to start in September, following the standard academic calendar used across French universities. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR, in line with the fees charged by French public institutions. As courses are taught entirely in French, applicants should have strong French language skills along with a background in general law before specializing in business-related legal matters.
