Master Droit Notarial

Tuition comes to 292 USD per year.

Université de Picardie Jules-Verne, in Amiens Cedex 1, France, offers the Master Droit Notarial, a two-year graduate program in notarial law taught in French. Notarial law concerns the legal instruments and procedures handled by notaries, professionals in the French legal system responsible for authenticating contracts and documents in areas such as property transactions, family law, and inheritance. Students in this field typically study property and real estate law, family law including marriage contracts and divorce settlements, inheritance and estate planning, and the procedural rules governing the drafting and authentication of notarial deeds. The program generally also covers the ethical and professional obligations specific to notarial practice. Graduates of notarial law programs commonly pursue further professional training required in France to qualify as a notary, a regulated profession with specific licensing requirements beyond the graduate degree. Others work as clerks or legal assistants within notarial offices, supporting the preparation of contracts related to property sales, wills, and family arrangements. Some graduates apply their specialized knowledge of property and family law in real estate companies, banks handling mortgage and estate matters, or legal departments that deal with succession and asset transfer planning. The program runs for two years, beginning in September, with all instruction conducted in French at the Amiens campus. Yearly tuition is two hundred fifty euros, consistent with the fee structure at French public universities.
