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.

Testimonials
It's often said that the university years are the best at IMPGT: a variety of courses that allow students to acquire a solid foundation and develop their thinking, friendly teachers and a warm atmosphere...all the ingredients are there to help them blossom as they find their way. My advice for a future student: take advantage of this privileged working environment to surpass yourself!
I completed my entire academic career at IMPGT. After a Master 1 MAPT, I decided to move towards a Master 2 DMPCT, notably to reinforce my legal knowledge, with the idea of taking civil service competitions in mind. […].The DMPCT Master's Degree was also fundamental to the success of my exams by giving me a solid legal and managerial basis and by enabling me to make the most of the various internships I had completed throughout my studies, particularly during the oral exams. This possibility of an internship is a real asset in my professional career. The DMPCT Master's degree was a particularly enriching year for me, with varied courses and high quality teachers from different backgrounds, each one a specialist in his or her sector. Thanks to this academic background, I am now a civil servant, in a management position that I am passionate about.
...] this diploma confirmed my desire to become involved in the management and promotion of projects that contribute to the development of a territory. The five years I spent at IMPGT were marked by the transdisciplinarity specific to the territorial context [...]. The completion of three successive internships, within structures working for economic development and international influence (DGA Strategy and Territorial Development of the CD13, Provence Promotion and the Euroméditerranée Public Establishment of Development) allowed me to meet a plurality of actors. Having just graduated, I am now in charge of development, economic promotion and trade in a Vaucluse inter-communal area of 30,000 inhabitants. As a non-tenured Territorial Attaché, I am involved in the construction and management of economic attractiveness initiatives in a region faced with various structural challenges. […]
Currently a professional firefighter in the SDIS du Var, I have very good memories of my 2016-2017 year in the M2 DMPCT. The lecturers are of a high quality and the training allows us to be very close to the teachers. The IMPGT is not to blame for this, since this human-sized structure provides real support to students, both in terms of skills development and administrative formalities. It was a year rich in non-negotiable contributions of knowledge for the integration of the public service and preparation for its competitions. I chose to integrate this training with the aim of enriching my knowledge of local and regional authorities and preparing my career as a professional firefighter. If I should give any advice to future students, it would be to be curious, looking at the various aspects of our administration and local authorities in order to approach this training with serenity.
