This Master's program in Law and Insurance Practice aims to train highly skilled graduates for the insurance sector. It focuses on practical legal knowledge directly applicable to immediate employment. Graduates will be prepared for roles in insurance companies, agencies, brokerage firms, and as insurance managers within industrial and commercial businesses. The program is delivered through an 'alternance' (work-study) contract over two years. Students will be linked with an insurance company and split their time between university classes (one week per month) and practical training within their employing company. This blended approach combines in-depth theoretical study with hands-on experience.
Curriculum
The Master's program is divided into two years, with each year comprising 60 ECTS credits. The 'alternance' format means students spend one week per month at the university and the rest of the time in their professional placement. The curriculum combines theoretical knowledge and practical skills in insurance and civil liability law. Detailed course information (UEs, hours, grading) is available via provided links for both Master 1 and Master 2 years, with specific maquettes for the 'Contrat Pro' (professional contract) route in M2.
