A bachelor’s degree
The information has gone a little under the media radas but it is a fact: the university diplomas of technology in two years (DUT) disappear in favor of the university bachelors of technology (BUT) in three years. “For us, this is the absolute stake of the new school year” indicates the director of the IUT, Antonietta Specogna. The challenge is high: it is necessary to make two systems coexist for a year; think about the aftermath, when the campus will physically keep its students for longer and it will be necessary to “find a place…” Teachers are on the front line and seem to be straining their backs in the face of a reform carried out at a forced march in the midst of Covid. “We’re not just talking about a new title. The bachelor is a change of philosophy; a new approach to knowledge, by skills. This requires more collaborative and autonomous work. Teachers must review their practices, ”lists the deputy director of the IUT, Franck Mouillebouche. Surprising as it may seem, the new diploma is on track while its layout and contents are not fully ready. Only the first year is marked. Never seen. Perilous? “We are making a comeback that is much more complex than the others,” admits Antonietta Specogna soberly.
