Bachelor in BUT - Mesures physiques

Physical Measurements (Mesures physiques) is a discipline focused on the theory and practice of measuring physical quantities — including temperature, pressure, flow, light intensity, and electromagnetic properties — and on the instruments, methods, and data processing techniques used in scientific and industrial contexts. Students study optics, acoustics, electronics, signal processing, instrumentation design and calibration, and the statistical treatment of experimental results. Laboratory work and applied measurement projects are central components of the formation, developing the practical skills that industry and research organisations seek. This bachelor of university technology programme (BUT — Mesures physiques) is delivered at the Institut universitaire de technologie de Lille — Université de Lille in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France. The degree lasts 3 years from September, with instruction in French. Annual tuition is 178 EUR. Graduates find employment as instrumentation technicians, metrology engineers, quality control specialists, R&D technicians, and test engineers in the electronics, healthcare device, energy, aerospace, and automotive sectors. The practical focus of the BUT means many graduates enter industry directly, while those seeking roles in engineering research or technical management continue to a master's degree in applied physics, instrumentation, or materials science. The Villeneuve-d'Ascq campus, situated within the scientifically active Lille metropolitan area, gives students access to research laboratories and industrial partners that offer practical placements in instrumentation and measurement.
