Bachelor in BUT - Mesures physiques

The BUT - Mesures physiques (Bachelor Universitaire de Technologie in Physical Measurements) at I.U.T de Metz, Université de Lorraine, in Metz, France, is a three-year bachelor-level program focused on the science and technology of physical measurement, instrumentation, and experimental data analysis. The discipline sits at the intersection of applied physics and engineering, covering the tools and methods used to measure, monitor, and control physical phenomena in industrial and research settings. Students study fundamental physics including optics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and mechanics, alongside applied modules in metrology, signal processing, sensor technology, electronic instrumentation, and quality assurance methods. Laboratory sessions are central to the program, developing both practical measurement skills and the ability to design experimental protocols and interpret quantitative data with precision. Technical drawing, computing tools for data analysis, and industrial project management typically complete the curriculum. Graduates find employment in industries that depend on rigorous measurement and quality control, including electronics and microelectronics, materials testing, pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, energy, and industrial research and development. Some graduates continue to a master's program or an engineering degree to pursue more specialized or managerial roles in their sector. The program starts in September and runs for three years, with yearly tuition of 178 EUR. All instruction is in French. Selection assessments are required as part of the application process for this program.
