Master Droit Prive

Tuition fees for Master Droit Prive are 292 USD per year.

Private law is the branch of legal study governing relationships between individuals and private entities, covering areas such as civil law, contract law, property law, family law, and commercial law. Students in this field typically study the general principles of obligations and contracts, civil liability, property rights, and the rules governing commercial transactions and business entities. Because private law forms the foundation for many other legal specialisations, coursework often builds a broad base of legal reasoning before allowing students to focus on particular areas of interest, such as business law or family law. Graduates commonly pursue careers as lawyers, legal advisors, notaries, in-house counsel, or magistrates, depending on further professional qualification. This Master Droit Prive is offered by Aix-Marseille Université, in Aix-En-Provence Cedex 1, France. It is a two-year master's program delivered in French, with a start date in September, based on the standard academic calendar, and yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Training in private law generally emphasises careful analysis of legal texts, case law, and doctrine, since much of the discipline concerns how general rules are applied and interpreted in specific disputes between parties. Students learn to construct legal arguments, draft contracts and legal opinions, and understand how private law interacts with related fields such as procedural law and commercial regulation. Because the subject underpins everyday transactions, from sales and leases to inheritance and business formation, it remains directly relevant to a wide range of professional and personal situations. Graduates trained in private law can pursue further professional qualification to become practising lawyers or notaries, or apply their legal training in corporate, administrative, or advisory roles across both private companies and public institutions.

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.
