A word from management
For over 50 years, the IUT de Béthune has been a key player in training students to become advanced technicians in science and technology. Now part of the Université d’Artois, our establishment has adapted to the demands of higher education, offering recognized training courses leading to qualifications, as well as to the new realities of employment and the industrial world, whether on a regional, national or international scale.
Our teams are committed to training technicians who can quickly become operational in the workplace, but who also possess solid theoretical and practical knowledge that opens the door to further study. All of this is built around supporting students in their personal and professional projects, which remain at the heart of our priorities. Educational support for our students is a major concern for our school, whose human scale and family atmosphere have been recognized assets for over 50 years.
