Master Droit Notarial

At Université Bourgogne Europe, tuition fees are 292 USD per year.

Notarial law (Droit Notarial) is a specialized area of legal study centered on the work of notaries, who in the French legal system handle matters such as property transactions, wills, marriage contracts and other legally binding documents, and this master's program is offered by Université Bourgogne Europe in Dijon, France. Students in a notarial law program typically study property and real estate law, family and inheritance law, contract law, and the procedures and professional obligations specific to notarial practice, alongside drafting exercises for the kinds of legal documents notaries prepare. Coursework generally combines substantive legal study with practical training in drafting and reviewing legal instruments, since notarial work depends heavily on precise legal writing and procedural accuracy. Graduates of notarial law programs typically pursue careers within notarial offices, working toward qualification as a notary, or take on related roles in real estate law, estate planning or legal advisory positions connected to property and family law. The degree is a master's program lasting two years, taught in French, so applicants need strong legal French, given that notarial practice in France operates entirely within French legal terminology and procedure. It begins in September, with yearly tuition of 250 euros. Students considering this path generally come from an undergraduate law background, since notarial law study builds on general legal training before specializing in the procedures specific to notarial practice.
