An Ocean view Faculty
In the field of law and political science, a university teaching programme covering the first two years of the DEUG was set up in 1974 in La Rochelle as part of a relocated branch of the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences in Poitiers. Since the creation of La Rochelle University by decree No. 93-77 of January 20th 1993, the Faculty of Law has grown considerably, facing the sea and Fort Boyard on the grounds of Les Minimes. It now provides students with a complete formation from bachelor’s degree to PhD (LMD).
