Faculty of Law, Economics and Management – University of Angers
The Faculty of Law, Economics and Management of the University of Angers is a teaching and research unit of some 3000 students, that provides all the usual training courses in these disciplines.
In addition, it has developed its own specificities as concerns the content of the courses taught and the methods used.
The teaching of foreign languages forms an important part of the general bachelor, notably in order to prepare the students for the classes taught in English at Master’s level. Individual support (via a tutor, a “big brother”, a referent teacher, etc.) helps students to development their own projects. Professional licences have been created in partnership with the local economic actors (territorial public administration, clothing industry, SMEs and SMIs, notaries, etc.).
The vast majority of master’s degrees specialise in growing professional sectors: banking and finance, international human resources, international management, economic intelligence, corporate law, etc. These courses are backed by two legal, economic and management research laboratories with 88 lecturer-researchers and 90 doctoral students whose fundamental and applied research work is the subject of contracts.
