The bachelor universitaire de technologie (BUT, in English: "Bachelor of Technical Studies" or "Bachelor of Technical and Applied Studies") is a national vocational bachelor's degree, and a national French undergraduate diploma created in 2019, awarded on completion of the first three years of study at a university technical institute (IUT). This diploma allows the intermediate award of a diplôme universitaire de technologie (DUT) from the second year of the bachelor's degree. It is awarded after three years of study, with 180 ECTS credits.

This type of bachelor's degree does not give automatic access to French master's degrees, although it is possible to apply for a master's degree on the basis of a portfolio.[1]
It is similar to a Bachelor of Applied Science or a Bachelor of Technical and Applied Studies in the US.
History
The DUT and the LP, the French vocational bachelor's degree (in French: licence professionnelle) are changing in September 2021. From that date, a new three-year diploma, the BUT, level 6 ISCED in the French Government's National Professional Qualifications Register (RNCP), conferring 180 ECTS credits, will be introduced.[2][3] The BUT, a Bachelor of Applied Science, delivered by the mainstream French public university system (which explains the "university" or "universitaire" in its title), becomes the reference diploma for French university technical institutes (IUT).
