Public Law
Objectives
 The
Program aims at providing students with in-depth knowledge and training them in
specialized topics in Public Law, so as to ensure their specialization and
participation in the cultivation and development of fundamental scientific
research as well as in the formation and adaptation to scientific thought. It
addresses to Law School graduates (candidate judges, judges, lawyers, civil
servants, etc.) aiming at their deepening their knowledge in public law fields.
Under the direction of a Greek-French network of legists specialized in Public
Law - both in administrative and constitutional and European Law - as they
interact and complete each other. The Program also aims at, on a long-term
basis, the creation of a network for European publicists which will remain
active with the participation of its future graduates.
Study Program Syllabus
The study program extends over two academic semesters. Courses take place both
in Athens and Bordeaux. Attendance is obligatory. In Bordeaux, students have
intensive courses in the month of March every academic year. The program is
organized on four modules, out of which two are compulsory on an annual basis
and two optional for each semester. The compulsory modules are: National Public
Law, European Public Law. Courses run by the academic staff of the cooperating
Departments of both universities, also include seminars and case studies. In
order to qualify for the Degree award, students must successfully pass the
written examinations in all taught modules, write a dissertation and support it
in front of a board of examiners assigned for this purpose, and participate
successfully in an oral examination on a subject upon draw. The awarded Degree
is a joint one, from both the cooperating universities.
Application Prerequisites
In order to apply you must be a graduate of a Law School Department of a Greek
university or of a corresponding Department of a foreign university of the same
status. Applications are submitted to both the University of Thessaly and to the
University of Bordeaux. The number of places for this Master program is 20
maximum for each academic year. Admittance is based on the evaluation of the
students' records, which they submit to the Secretariat of the Master Program in
September according to a special announcement-invitation put outside the offices
of the Department as well as in other places of law activity and is published on
time in daily press. A prerequisite for the admittance is the proof of
sufficient knowledge of the French language.
Teaching language
All modules are taught for four hours a week, half in Greek half in French. The
dissertation has to be written in the language that will not be used in the oral
examination of a subject upon draw.
Study bursaries
There are no fees for this Master Program. However, students have to pay fares
and accommodation costs. For this reason, each one of the two universities tries
to find ways, as far as possible, to facilitate students in their moving to the
other country, in their accommodation and in their access to other university
services.
