Welcome to our «Instituts Universitaires de Technologie» (IUT) in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Region!

The French Institutes of Technology are fully part of the university system. They select their students after their high-school diploma and have strong links with local business. There is a limited number of places available, making it a sought-after programme.

This international forum is jointly organised by the Lyon, Saint-Etienne, Chambéry, and Grenoble IUTs in order to:- Develop and strengthen the network of partners - Increase international opportunities for students- Promote the IUT system and joint actions between the IUTs- Promote Rhône-Alpes, a prosperous and dynamic European region

The 115 IUTs are part of a national network of IUTs and all follow a common National Curriculum leading to a DUT, equivalent to a Higher National Diploma in Technology, after two years of studies (see chart below).

Since their creation, over 1 million students have been awarded a diploma and over 3,000 others a vocational Bachelor’s degree by our institutions.

After their diploma, students can:- Continue their studies in France or abroad at Bachelor’s level and then at Master’s level- Start working

For their 3rd year abroad, they are awarded a DUETI, University Diploma in Technology in an International context.

That’s why our 2nd year students are looking for opportunities abroad to study for a bachelor degree. Come to this open-day to meet them, promote your university and reinforce our relationships. So please, feel welcome to our International Open Day events in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes!
