Bachelor in DEUST - Métiers des bibliothèques et de la documentation

The DEUST Métiers des bibliothèques et de la documentation (university diploma in library and documentation professions) at Université de Lille prepares students for careers across the full range of information and knowledge services. The discipline covers the organisation, management, and mediation of documentary collections — from physical archives and print holdings to digital repositories and online catalogues. Students typically study information science theory, cataloguing standards, database management, digital preservation, and techniques for supporting diverse reading publics. Located in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France, the program runs at the bachelor level over 3 years, with tuition delivered entirely in French. Classes begin in September. The yearly tuition fee is 178 EUR, consistent with French public higher education rates. The program opens pathways to roles such as library assistant, documentation officer, archiving technician, and information specialist in public libraries, university resource centres, corporate documentation departments, and public-sector archives. It also provides a basis for further study toward a Licence in information science or related disciplines.
