Bachelor universitaire de technologie

The bachelor universitaire de technologie (BUT, in English: "Bachelor of Technical Studies" or "Bachelor of Technical and Applied Studies") is a national vocational bachelor's degree, and a national French undergraduate diploma created in 2019, awarded on completion of the first three years of study at a university technical institute (IUT). This diploma allows the intermediate award of a diplôme universitaire de technologie (DUT) from the second year of the bachelor's degree. It is awarded after three years of study, with 180 ECTS credits.

This type of bachelor's degree does not give automatic access to French master's degrees, although it is possible to apply for a master's degree on the basis of a portfolio.

It is similar to a Bachelor of Applied Science or a Bachelor of Technical and Applied Studies in the US.
