Presentation
By integrating the Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical and Production Engineering (B.U.T. GMP), students benefit from an integrated 3-year program to reach the degree of Bachelor. The degree is aligned with international standards and facilitates exchanges with foreign universities.
With the B.U.T. GMP, students continue to benefit from a university and technological education supervised by experienced teaching teams. The curriculum is still based on professional situations, periods in companies in the form of internships or work-study programs.
Objectives
The B.U.T. GMP aims to train generalists in the mechanical industries, whatever the sector of activity, capable of ensuring the marketing of a new product through the first three stages of its life cycle: design to define the product, industrialization to develop the manufacturing and assembly processes, and finally industrial organization to organize production lines.This versatility allows graduates to adapt to the changing needs of companies and to the changes in future professions. They participate in the engineering process, from the treatment of the expressed need to the implementation of the technological solution in response to this need in compliance with the constraints of time, cost and quality. In the context of the industry of the future, each BUT GMP course will provide an essential complementary skill for companies today and tomorrow: innovation, virtualization, sustainable development, management and marketing.
Know-how and skills
At the end of the training, the graduate will be able to exercise his skills in 3 main professional situations:
- product design,
- its industrialization
- and finally the industrial organization to be implemented.
In each of these 3 situations, he will be able to use the 4 major skills:
- Specify: determine the industrial requirements corresponding to a customer's need;
- Develop : develop products, manufacturing processes and associated industrial organizations;
- Realize: realize the digital model of the product, manufacture it by implementing the CAM software and hardware currently used in the industry;
- Operate: monitor the life of the product and the production system.
These four elements of practice apply to the three families of situations (product design, product industrialization or industrial organization) and thus constitute the four skills common to the graduates of the BUT GMP.
Organization
Knowledge control
The control of knowledge is done continuously and at the end of each semester (30 ECTS per semester). It allows to know the level of mastery of the acquired skills. In total, 6 semesters (180 ECTS) must be validated to obtain the B.U.T. GMP.
Students who do not wish to continue in the 3rd year of the B.U.T. GMP and having validated 120 ECTS (4 semesters) can ask for the delivery of the University Diploma Technology (D.U.T.) GMP (bac + 2).
Special arrangements
High-level athletes
The university wishes to provide high-level athletes with the necessary means to pursue their university studies. This support takes the form of adjustments to the curriculum adapted to the constraints of sport, with the aim of reconciling higher education with a sporting career.
To be eligible, check your eligibility here
The application for high level status must be made every year.
Confirmed artists
The university promotes access to initial and continuing education for experienced artists. Support can be provided by adapting the curriculum. For more information, contact the Student Services Department here (iutn-scolarite @ umontpellier.fr).
Students with disabilities
The Handiversity and Occupational Medicine departments complement each other in their missions to help you succeed in your studies. They are your privileged contacts to inform you, evaluate your situation, recommend suitable accommodations and monitor their implementation. (More info here).
Alternation methods
APPRENTICESHIP CONTRACT or PROFESSIONALIZATION CONTRACT from the 3rd year onwards.
This allows you to be put in a real situation and to be confronted with the professional world; alternating between theoretical training at the IUT and practical training in a work situation in a company.

Internships, tutored projects
Internship | Mandatory |
|---|---|
Duration of the course | 22 weeks minimum spread over the 3 years in order to apply the acquired skills. |
Tutored project
600 hours are allocated to tutored projects. They allow students to conduct a study in small groups. They are carried out during the three years of training in parallel with the classical teaching.
Program
The training starts in September and lasts 3 years. It is structured around university and technological courses. The total hourly volume is 2,000 hours divided into 6 semesters. The program is built on a skills-based approach. The acquisition of skills is based on the articulation of professional situations and theoretical teachings .

(*) Learning and Evaluation Situations (LES)
LES allow for the evaluation of the competency in a given situation. This evaluation is carried out in accordance with all the elements structuring the reference system, and is based on the portfolio approach, i.e. a process of reflection and demonstration carried out by the student himself. As a set of actions, the SAE requires the student to choose, mobilize and combine relevant resources that are consistent with the targeted objectives. The challenge of an EAS is thus multiple:
- Participate in the development of competencies;
- Support learning and the mastery of resources;
- Integrate self-assessment by the student;
- Allow individualization of learning.
(**) The portfolio approach
Sometimes called a skills portfolio or professional passport, the portfolio is a connection point between the academic world and the socio-economic world. In this way, it responds to all the dimensions of the student's professionalization: from his training to his future as a professional.
From the 2nd year, the student chooses a path and acquires a specific skill for the chosen path:
- Innovation for Industry: MASTER creativity and innovation support tools and approaches and industrial property.
- Industrial Process Management: MASTER environmental standards and related processes throughout the product life cycle.
