Presentation

The B.U.T R&T trains senior technicians and managers capable of installing, maintaining, managing and securing telecommunications systems and communications networks of all types (Internet, local networks, mobile networks, operator networks, fiber optics).

The training is open to holders of the general and technological baccalaureate.

Two specialization courses are offered from the second year onwards:

- Cybersecurity: this course covers all the professions related to the security of information systems, from the installation of security equipment (firewalls, probes) to their monitoring. The R&T graduate of the Cybersecurity course will be able to administer a secure information system, supervise it, and detect and counter computer attacks.

- System and cloud development: the Internet and the cloud require a permanent adaptation of software and infrastructures that support them to improve intra and inter-company services. Companies must adapt to changing workloads and respond quickly to crises caused by security or production incidents. The R&T professional is no longer just in charge of the infrastructure and must collaborate with programmers to maintain a cloud environment adapted to business needs and automate production.
