Master Droit Prive

The tuition fee is 250 EUR per year.

Private law (Droit Privé) covers the branch of legal study governing relationships between individuals and private entities, including contracts, civil liability, family law, and business law, and this master's program is offered by Université d'Angers in Angers, France. Students in a private law program typically study civil law, contract and obligations law, company and commercial law, and procedures for resolving private disputes, building the analytical and drafting skills central to legal practice. Coursework generally involves case analysis, legal writing exercises, and close study of statutes and court decisions, preparing students for the kind of reasoning expected in legal professions. Graduates of private law programs commonly pursue careers as lawyers, legal advisers within companies, notarial or judicial careers, or roles in legal departments handling contracts and commercial relationships, often after further professional training required to practice law in France. The degree is a master's, lasting two years and taught in French, so applicants need strong legal French, since private law study depends heavily on reading and interpreting French statutes and case law. It starts in September, and yearly tuition is 250 euros. Students weighing this program should generally come from an undergraduate law background, as private law master's programs build on foundational legal training before moving into more specialized civil and commercial law topics.
