Degree Program in Public Finance - DEA de Finances Publiques

Objectives

Mastering public finance represents a major stake in today’s society and an essential challenge for times to come. All countries and all institutions are now concerned by this imperative, which drives them to bring about deep changes in their financial institutions. Because of this, the already highly considerable need for specialists, researchers, teachers and practitioners in this field can only grow. This is why the objective of the DEA is to offer high level training bearing on different aspects of this discipline and including the study of the finances of the State, local communities, social security and the European Union.

Organization

The Université de Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne and Paris-Sud join forces to direct and guide and direct DEA research in public finance. They are actively supported by the major concerned public finance institutions: The French Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industry (General Tax Office, Public Accounting General Office, Budget Office, Financial Inspection Office, Office of Personnel and Modernisation of Administration, Communication Office), the French Court of Auditors, the European Court of Auditors, the European Union Committee of the Regions. A piloting committee assures a regular follow-up and oversees the realisation of instruction. It is made of academics and practitioners belonging to the mentioned institutions.
