Presentation
By enrolling in the Bachelor Universitaire de Technologie Gestion des Entreprises et des Administrations (B.U.T GEA), students benefit from an integrated 3-year program leading to a Bachelor's degree. The degree is aligned with international standards and facilitates exchanges with foreign universities.
With the B.U.T. GEA, students continue to benefit from university-level teaching in lectures, tutorials and practical work, supervised by experienced teaching teams. The curriculum is still structured around practical work experience, with periods spent in companies as interns or on a sandwich course.
Objectives
The aim of the B.U.T GEA is to train multi-skilled graduates with an ability to analyze and synthesize. They will understand how an organization and its socio-economic environment work, and master the main management tools. They will be capable of integrating various functions (accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, etc.).
Know-how and skills
On completion of the course, graduates will be able to :
- Understand the workings of an organization and its socio-economic environment,
- Master the main management tools (accounting, marketing, HR, legal, financial, etc.),
- Design and manage collaborative projects,
- Understand innovation and develop an entrepreneurial spirit,
- Take on responsibilities within an organization and work as part of a team,
- Master written and oral communication skills in French, English and a 2nd foreign language,
- Use professional digital tools.
Organization
Knowledge control
Assessment is continuous and at the end of each semester (30 ECTS per semester). It is used to assess the level of mastery of acquired skills. A total of 6 semesters (180 ECTS) must be passed to obtain the B.U.T. GEA.
Students who do not wish to continue into the 3rd year of the B.U.T. GEA and have validated 120 ECTS (4 semesters) can apply for the Diplôme Universitaire Technologie (D.U.T.) GEA (bac + 2).

(*) Situations d'Apprentissage et d'Évaluation (SAE) (Learning and Assessment Situations)
SAEs enable competencies to be assessed in situ. This assessment is carried out in line with all the elements structuring the reference framework, and is based on the portfolio approach, i.e. a process of reflection and demonstration carried out by the student him/herself. As a set of actions, the SAE requires the student to select, mobilize and combine relevant resources that are consistent with the targeted objectives. The stakes of an SAE are thus multiple:
- Participating in the development of skills;
- Supporting learning and the mastery of resources;
- Integrating student self-assessment;
- Enabling individualized learning.
(**) The portfolio approach
Sometimes referred to as a skills portfolio or professional passport, the portfolio is a link between the academic and socio-economic worlds. In this way, it responds to all the dimensions of a student's professionalization: from his or her training to his or her future as a professional.
(***) The Personal and Professional Project (PPP)
Present in every semester of the training program and supported by all the teachers on the teaching team, the Personal and Professional Project is a structuring element that enables students to play an active role in their training, to understand and appropriate its content, objectives and targeted skills.
From the 2nd year onwards, the student chooses a pathway and acquires a skill specific to the chosen pathway:
- Gestion, Entrepreneuriat et Management d'Activités (GEMA): DESIGN value-creation strategy & manage and develop the value chain.
- Management Control and Performance Management (CG2P): DESIGN management control tools and IMPLEMENT levers for continuous improvement of organizational performance.
