Presentation
(This new model is subject to approval by the university authorities)
The aim is to enable students in the first year of the Master's program to complete their Bachelor's degree by reinforcing their general legal training, with a focus on private law, and to prepare their specialization for the Master's 2 program they plan to follow.
The Master's degree in private law is based on a Master's 1 course comprising three tracks.
- Civil and Judicial Law course (DCJ)
- Heritage law and engineering course (D-IPat)
- Business Law and Taxation (DAF) or French and International Business Law (DAFI) courses
The Master 2 D-IPat course trains lawyers in wealth management (constitution, development and transmission) who work in independent firms, banks, insurance companies, notaries' offices or chartered accountancy firms.

Organization
Knowledge control
Teaching units are assessed by continuous assessment and/or written and oral final exams. They are definitively acquired once the student has obtained an average grade, and are assigned a coefficient and European credits. Compensations are made over the semester on the basis of the overall average of grades obtained in the various teaching units, weighted by coefficients. Two assessment sessions are organized for each semester.

Created in 1994 under the name Master Droit et gestion du patrimoine privé, the master's degree has been renamed Droit et ingénierie du patrimoine as of September 2018. It has established a national reputation for preparing students for careers in wealth management, and in March 2018, it was ranked 15th in the national SMBG rankings. It also features in the rankings of major professional journals dedicated to wealth management. It enjoys the support and trust of numerous partners (independents, banks, insurance companies, notaries).
