5-Year Engineering Program

UTBM trains engineers who are quickly ready for the workforce and particularly adaptable to technological advancements and societal changes. Its programs are grounded in research and commercialization.

5-Year Training Program


This diagram outlines the structure of the program at UTBM leading to an engineering degree accredited by the CTI (Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur), equivalent to 300 ECTS credits. The program is divided into two main phases: the core curriculum (2 years) and the engineering specialization (3 years).The program spans 10 semesters (5 years total) following the baccalaureate:Years 1 and 2 (Semesters 1–4): Core curriculum (general education).Years 3, 4, and 5 (Semesters 5–10): Engineering specialization.After graduation: Students may continue on to a Master’s degree (BAC+6) or a Doctorate (BAC+8).The Core Curriculum (Semesters 1 through 4)This period corresponds to 2 years of general education following the baccalaureate. It is marked by two major experiences:Between Semester 1 and Semester 2 (Upon Entering After the Baccalaureate): A one-month technical internship.Between Semester 3 and Semester 4 (Admission after one year of post-high school study): A one-month international experience.Intermediate Degree: At the end of Semester 4, students can earn the DEUTEC (Diplôme d’Études Universitaires de Technologie).

The Engineering Specialization (Semesters 5 through 10)
These three years are open to students with a BAC+2 degree (via the CGPE entrance exam, a DUT, or a university degree) and to those with a BAC+3 degree.

Midway through the program, students choose a track to shape their career path. An intermediate degree, the “Bachelor of Science and Technology,” is also awarded at the end of semesters 5 and 6.Students can choose between twostudent statuses to pursue their specialization:
The 5 engineering specializations under the “STUDENT” status:
Energy and Electrical Engineering - Industrial Engineering - Computer Science - Mechanical Engineering - Mechanical Engineering and Ergonomics
The 4 engineering specializations under the “APPRENTICE” status:
Energy and Electrical Engineering - Computer Science - Industrial Logistics - Mechanical Engineering and Transportation

Internships and projects for students: Semester 7:
A 6-month internship at a company.

Semester 10: The 6-month capstone project (PFE). B. Visual Note: For apprentices, a QR code links to the work-study schedule. 4. Transfer Pathways and Graduation Opportunities

Parallel Entry Points: It is possible to join the program directly at any stage: at the BAC+1 level, at the BAC+2 level (through competitive entrance exams or based on academic qualifications), or at the BAC+3 level.

Dual Degree: Starting in the 8th semester, students have the option to pursue a dual degree (Master’s or foreign degree). Your paragraph here

  • a general science baccalaureate
  • a BAC+1* level
    *Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine equivalent credits
  • Two years of immersion, observation, and preparation to help you choose your major more effectively
  • An engineering culture that’s present from the very start of your program
  • A solid education in science, technology, and the humanities
  • An Introduction to the Industrial World Starting in the First Grade
  • Students can gain international experience as early as their second year of study through an internship or a semester abroad
  • The assurance that you will be able to enter the specialty of your choice upon completion of the core curriculum

Students who have completed one year of college may also enroll at UTBM. After their applications are reviewed, they will be awarded credit equivalencies.

internships

  • A4-week work placement(UV ST10) between the first and second semesters of study: this provides students with their first exposure to the professional world, as they are required to hold a position and participate in a technical task.
  • An optional4-week internship abroad(UV ST20), taken between the second and third semesters or between the third and fourth semesters. It takes place in a country whose language is taught at UTBM (German, English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Italian, Russian) and is conducted either in a professional setting or in an academic setting.
