Master Droit Public — Sécurité Défense

Tuition fees for Master Droit Public — Sécurité Défense are 250 EUR per year.

The Master Droit Public, spécialité Sécurité Défense, focuses on the legal and institutional frameworks surrounding national security and defense policy. This discipline generally covers constitutional and administrative law as it applies to state security functions, the legal status of armed forces and security agencies, defense procurement regulation, and the international legal frameworks governing conflict, sovereignty and cooperation between states. Students typically study how public institutions organize and regulate defense and security policy, the balance between civil liberties and security measures, and the legal dimensions of crisis management, counterterrorism and international security cooperation. Coursework often includes analysis of defense-related legislation, case studies of security policy decisions, and discussion of how public law adapts to evolving security threats, including cyber and hybrid forms of conflict. This kind of legal training builds skills in regulatory analysis, policy assessment and understanding of institutional decision-making in security matters. Graduates from this field commonly pursue careers within ministries of defense or interior, security agencies, international organizations, defense contractors, or as legal advisors and analysts specializing in security and defense policy. This program is delivered by Institut catholique de Vendée in La Roche Sur Yon, France, as a two-year master's degree taught in French. It typically begins in September, and yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Applicants generally hold a background in public law, political science or international relations, with interest in security and defense matters.
