🎓 The Bachelor of Technology (BUT)

The Bachelor of Technology (BUT) is a national degree. It offers general and technological training in a professional field and awards a Licence-level diploma.

The program lasts 3 years to provide efficient vocational training, giving each graduate the skills needed for a successful entry into working life, as well as theoretical knowledge for further studies.

IUT Orléans offers 6 specializations of the BUT:

• BUT Chemistry
• BUT Business and Administration Management (GEA)
• BUT Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering (GMP)
• BUT Computer Science
• BUT Energy Transition and Energy Efficiency (MT2E)
• BUT Quality, Logistics and Industrial Organisation (QLIO) 

🗣️ French language requirement 

All courses are taught in French. International students who want to join IUT Orléans must provide proof of at least B2 level in French (according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).

🧩 Organisation of the courses

Teaching combines different formats: lectures (CM), practical labs (TP) and tutorials (TD). This is complemented by project-based work and situational exercises (SAE). 

From the 2nd year, students may choose a work-study path. Otherwise, internships in companies are scheduled each year: 2 to 4 weeks in BUT1, 8 to 10 weeks in BUT2, and 12 to 14 weeks in BUT3.

🧾 Examination procedures

Courses are assessed through continuous assessment: you will have evaluations throughout the year, no single final exam.

📓 Applying to IUT Orléans and Admission

Your application must first be submitted by your sending institution (e.g. programs such as ADIUT, SFERE, etc.). Once your application is received, the International Relations Office (BRI) at Orléans IUT will send you the registration procedure.

During online pre-registration, you can also ask for student accommodation: either university residences (CROUS) or a host family. ⚠️ Because the number of CROUS residences is limited, you’re advised to request housing as soon as you receive your acceptance letter from the BRI. 

For non-European international students, registration with the French social security system (free and mandatory) will be required.

 Several housing options are available:

• University residences managed by CROUS
• Private student residences near campus (IUT will send a list by email via the BRI)
