Presentation of the training
This level I training (Bac+5) was created in 1984 at the very beginning of the decentralization process implemented at the same time in France. It has had different titles, always including the notion of local authorities and law. It has regularly adapted to the requirements of professionalization and the need for permanent modernization of public action, taking into account both the challenges and new tools as well as the reflections carried by the doctrine on issues relating to territories and their evolution. It is now entitled Master 2 Public Law and Management of Local Authorities.
The Master 2 in Public Law and Management of Local Authorities brings a double competence, management and law. This transdisciplinarity meets the needs of local authorities and their groupings (EPCI) as well as the organizations, institutions and companies working with them. These various institutions require managers who know how to envisage the exercise of the competences entrusted by the legislator to local and regional authorities in a global and forward-looking manner. Alongside a dominant specialty, the executive must be capable of grasping the issue to be resolved in its various aspects. They must have the capacity to analyze the issue by breaking it down and to synthesize in order to provide a response based on the intersection of the legal and management disciplines.

Target audience
