A Collège de droit ('College of law') in France is a selective training inside a faculty of law for top students selected among the French student body. Students from these programs are much more likely to enter prestigious master's degrees or law firms.

Universities have created these training courses because their are not allowed to choose students for undergraduate degree. Media soon called them "ways of excellence" inside each university for "brilliant students" or "grandes écoles inside universities".

However, Collèges de droit have been criticised by some students' union, including UNEF, because french universities are not supposed to select their students.
