Presentation
By integrating the University Bachelor of Technology in Business and Administration Management (B.U.T GEA), students benefit from an integrated 3-year course to reach the degree of licence. 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 teaching in lectures, tutorials and practical work, 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.

The objective of the B.U.T GEA is to train multi-skilled graduates with a spirit of analysis and synthesis. They will understand the functioning of an organization, its socio-economic environment and will master the main management tools. They will be able to integrate various functions (accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, etc.).

(*) 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.
(***) The Personal and Professional Project (PPP)
Present in each semester of the program and supported by all the teachers of the pedagogical team, the Personal and Professional Project is a structuring element that allows the student to be the actor of his training, to understand and appropriate the contents, the objectives and the targeted competences
From the 2nd year, the student chooses a path and acquires a specific skill for the chosen path:
- Management, Entrepreneurship and Activity Management (GEMA): DESIGN the value creation strategy & ensure the management and development of the value chain.
- Management Control and Performance Management (CG2P): DESIGN management control tools and IMPLEMENT levers for continuous improvement of the organization's performance
