Montpellier-Sète University Institute of Technology (IUT)
Overview
The Bachelor of Science in Chemical Technology, Materials and Formulated Products track, consists of two locally adapted specializations:
- The B.U.T. in Chemistry, Materials and Formulated Products track ( NuMat local adaptation) aims to train advanced technicians with strong expertise in solid-state chemistry and materials for nuclear energy.
- The Bachelor of Applied Science (B.U.T.) in Chemistry, Materials and Formulated Products track— a locally adapted version known as MatPol —aims to train advanced technicians with strong expertise in the field of polymers and formulation.
The Benefits of the Training Program
- A recognized, career-oriented training program that includes hands-on, real-world work experience.
- Two internships in a professional setting: 10 weeks during the second year of the B.U.T. and 16 weeks during the third year of the B.U.T.
- Work-study opportunities are available in the 2nd and 3rd years.
- Language certification.
- Projet Voltaire (spelling proficiency certification).
- Digital Certification (PIX).
- PSC1 (First Aid) Training.
Objectives
- The goal of the NuMat program is to meet the nuclear industry’s need for advanced technicians with a three-year post-secondary degree who possess skills in the development of inorganic materials, techniques for characterizing them, and the study of their physicochemical properties, as well as experience working in a regulated environment and proficiency in communication techniques commonly used in companies in the nuclear and conventional energy sectors.
- The goal of the MatPol program is to train advanced technicians with a three-year post-secondary degree (BAC+3) who possess skills in polymer synthesis, the design of formulated products to address specific challenges, the development of organic materials, characterization techniques for these materials, and the study of their physicochemical properties.
