Faculté de Droit, Sciences économiques et Gestion de Nancy

What Faculté de Droit, Sciences économiques et Gestion de Nancy does

The Faculté de Droit, Sciences économiques et Gestion de Nancy is a public higher education faculty and a constituent component (composante) of the Université de Lorraine, with historical roots dating to 1572 and a contemporary organizational structure established through the 2012 merger of multiple Lorraine institutions. It operates from two campuses — the principal site at 13 Place Carnot in Nancy (C.O. 700 26, 54035) and a satellite campus at 2 Rue de la Maix in Épinal (88000) — offering a comprehensive portfolio of undergraduate Licences (Droit, Économie, double-degrees in Droit-Économie, Droit-Gestion, Économie Philosophie, plus professional Licences in Real Estate and Social Law), graduate Masters across eight legal specializations (Affaires, Civil, Notarial, Pénal, Public, Social, Santé) plus Political Science, Economics, and Finance, doctoral training via the École Doctorale SJPEG, and Diplômes Universitaires in applied fields such as Médiation, Criminologie, and Juriste Conseil d'Entreprise. The faculty's underlying technology stack consists entirely of University of Lorraine shared digital infrastructure — Sesame for account management, ENT (Espace Numérique de Travail) for student services, Arche for online courses, Zimbra for email, IPWEB for pedagogical registration, and the BU virtual library — with no proprietary technology layer.

The business model is that of a French public university: revenue is structurally non-commercial, sourced primarily from French Ministry of Higher Education and Research appropriations channeled through the Université de Lorraine parent, supplemented by nationally set annual student registration fees (with exemptions for scholarship holders and economically disadvantaged students). The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via national admission platforms (Parcoursup for L1, MonMaster for M1, e-candidat for L2/L3/M2/DU) combined with community-led international recruitment through the Erasmus+ network (40+ European partner universities plus bilateral agreements in the UK, Ecuador, Portugal, and Italy) and two specialized Summer Schools. Research output is concentrated across three laboratories: BETA (joint CNRS/INRAE/Université de Strasbourg/Université de Lorraine/AgroParisTech economics unit, ~200 members), IFG (private law and criminal sciences, ~130 researchers), and IRENEE (public law and political science, ~110 members from Nancy and Metz). The faculty holds a 6th-place national ranking in the 2024 Thotis evaluation of French law universities (score 17.11/20) and is governed by a Directeur/Doyenne with sub-leads including Vice-Doyenne for International Relations (Verónica Acurio Vásconez), three research-laboratory directors (Yamina Fourneyron for BETA, François Moncassin for IFG, Laurent Seurot for IRENEE), and the Doctoral School Director (Alexia Gardin).
