The Institute for Preparation for General Civil Service Exams

Founded in 1963, the Institute for Preparation for General Administration (IPAG) was initially led by Pierre di MALTA, an associate professor of public law. Following its takeover by Professor Éric de MARI in 2002, the IPAG underwent a complete reorganization, which enabled it to take off and reach a high level of excellence. Since 2010, the Montpellier IPAG has experienced further growth, both in terms of its success rate and the diversity of its programs. In 2013, the programs were opened up to apprenticeships in the civil service. On January 27, 2020, Nicolas Marty was elected Director of the Montpellier IPAG for a five-year term.

All training programs are led by experienced professionals, such as senior government officials, regional directors (Mr. Bernard DELHOUME), and renowned academics (Mr. Nicolas MARTY), as well as professors from preparatory classes for the grandes écoles (Ms. Anne DAVID). This team effort involves about 100 people (see the“Team” page).

With a success rate on entrance exams of over 75% of its student body, as well as a specialized program that provides students with personalized guidance, IPAG in Montpellier ranks among the very best exam preparation centers in France.

IPAG is the smallest unit at the University of Montpellier, with only 200 students. But IPAG’s success is measured by its results, as 3 out of 4 students there pass a Category A or B competitive exam. The top priority here is career placement.
