The teaching of the University Bachelor of Technology (BUT) in Biological Engineering, a diploma of Bac+3, is intended to train, in three years, full-time, senior technicians with a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills in biology enabling them to find a job and pursue their studies in various sectors: agricultural, agronomic, agri-food, biotechnological, environmental. This BUT attaches great importance to basic scientific education allowing the acquisition of fundamental knowledge that will facilitate the career development of the graduates and to specialised applied education, anchored in professional practice, providing solid know-how and skills.
The aim of this programme is to provide students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge and skills in the fields of agriculture, agri-food, biotechnology and environment.
Two pathways are offered from the first year (choice to be made from the application on Parcoursup):
- Agronomy (AGRO)
- Environmental Sciences and Ecotechnologies (SEE)
-
Objectives of the Agronomy course
This training enables students to carry out activities in the fields of agronomy and agriculture and to intervene in territorial development. The mission of the graduates is to manage the production of agricultural resources (food and non-food) and to improve the techniques and methods in a sustainable way. They are able to integrate and evolve in all agricultural and para-agricultural sectors (vegetable and animal production, technical and economic advice, primary processing, marketing, etc.), in the upstream and downstream sectors, and in the agricultural sector.), in the upstream and downstream sectors of agriculture (agrochemical industry, selection, agri-supplies, research and/or development...) and in land use planning, taking into account the environmental context.
Local adaptation
At Digne-les-Bains, the courses reflect the local environment and the reality of the professional world and concern agroecology, sustainable production, pastoralism, arboriculture, aromatic and medicinal plants.

Objectives of the Environmental Sciences and Ecotechnologies program
Environmental Sciences and Ecotechnologies Course
This course enables students to carry out activities in the fields of the protection and management of ecosystems, the prevention, characterisation and treatment of pollution, and the implementation of the circular economy.• the physico-chemistry and biology of the environments: air, water and soil pollution and waste management
Local adaptation
• analysis of living systems and their interactions with natural or modified environments: urban, industrial or rural ecosystemsPrevention and management of environments, prevention and treatment of pollution, in particular water treatment, environmental rehabilitation actions.

How are the studies organized?
The BUT Biological Engineering includes 2000 hours of teaching spread over 6 semesters (3 years). A regular personal work will have to be done. During the 3 years of BUT, students will do 26 weeks of internships. The teaching is given in the form of lectures, tutorials and, above all, practical work. Numerous field trips are organised.
