Overview
The Bachelor’s Degree in Technology (B.U.T.) is becoming the new standard degree at IUTs. By enrolling in a B.U.T. program, you’ll benefit from a three-year integrated program that allows you to earn a bachelor’s degree without having to go through an additional admissions process. You’ll still receive a DUT at the end of the second year, and you’ll continue to benefit from a university-level, technology-focused education led by experienced interdisciplinary faculty teams.
- Digital Creation Track: This track is based on the skill of expression—that is, conveying a message or narrative across a range of media through digital creation and multimedia writing.
- Web Development and Interactive Systems Track: This track focuses on the skill of developing websites, among other things.
The Benefits of the Training Program
Objectives
The Bachelor’s Degree in Multimedia and Internet Professions (MMI) is a three-year program that trains technicians in the fields of communication, design, web development, audiovisual production, and digital project management. Throughout the program, which spans six semesters, students acquire a range of skills and expertise in multimedia professions.
They learn to develop a communication strategy while creating and managing the media needed to implement it in a coherent and relevant manner.
They master computer graphics tools for web integration and learn how to program a mobile application. This learning takes place through lectures, tutorials, hands-on exercises, internships, or supervised group projects (group work guided by a faculty member).
Upon completion of the program, graduates possess sufficient theoretical and practical knowledge to enter the workforce or pursue further specialization at a university or elsewhere.

The work-study program, which involves spending one week at a company followed by one week of classes, offers an immersive and hands-on experience.
WORK-STUDY PROGRAM
As a true bridge to professional integration, the work-study program is offered starting in the second year of the B.U.T. MMI and remains a viable option at any time during students’ studies. The work-study approach, characterized by one week in a company followed by one week of classes, offers an immersive and hands-on experience. This educational model allows apprentices to apply the knowledge they’ve acquired in the classroom within a real-world professional environment, thereby strengthening their understanding of the challenges facing the multimedia and internet sector. Furthermore, the work-study schedule enables students to effectively balance theory and practice. The schedule, developed in collaboration with the traditional academic program, ensures consistency between the two tracks, fostering the exchange of experiences and the sharing of skills between apprentices and students in the traditional program. This seamless integration offers apprentices the opportunity to benefit from the best of both worlds, combining academic expertise with professional experience.
