Presentation
The R&T B.U.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, optical fibers).
The course 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 aspects of information systems security, from installation of security equipment (firewalls, probes) to monitoring. Graduates of the Cybersecurity R&T program will be able to administer and supervise secure information systems, and detect and counter computer attacks.
- System and cloud development: the Internet and the cloud demand constant adaptation of software and the infrastructures that support them, to improve intra- and inter-company services. Companies need to adapt to changing workloads and respond rapidly to crises caused by security or production incidents. The R&T professional is no longer solely in charge of infrastructure, and must collaborate with programmers to maintain a Cloud environment adapted to business needs and automate production.
