About our Chemical Engineering and Applied Physics students
The “DUT Mesures Physiques” is a French national undergraduate diploma for candidates having a good scientific "baccalaureat" (equivalent to “A” levels in maths and science). They attend a two-year course, working 35 hours per week at the IUT. Lectures account for 20% of the total time, tutorials 30% and lab. work 50%. Their course culminates in a 12-week work placement.
The emphasis is on lab work/applied science.
The student applications received for the DUT Mesures Physiques are screened by a panel of professors and professionals from the industry who examine the candidate's CV as well as their motivation and personality.
The diploma is delivered upon review and examination of the student's academic performances while attending the course but even more on the knowledge, abilities, skills, dedication and behaviour demonstrated during his placement.
Students are trained to integrate and to evolve in the real world of work in industry and research in many different domains such as those of the automobile, aeronautics, electronics, optics, materials, chemistry, environment … and to adapt to new technologies.
Here are some possible positions and responsibilities :
- project manager,
- quality manager,
- production engineer,
- research engineer …
However, many students decide to move on to post-graduate studies.
Here are some examples :
- An investigation of oscillator circuit designs for surface acoustic wave sensors
- Light Scattering by surface tension waves
- Advanced oxidation processes using a novel catalyst in the treatment of industrial waste waters
- Development and validation of analytical methods for the analysis of antibiotics in animal feed
Our degree offers a unique set of skills and know-how in the fields of Material Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, and Electronics.
Students are trained :
- to carry out all types of measurements and then to interpret and analyze them.
- to design and implement an industrial system
Two year syllabus :

The placement is from mid-April to the end of June, but may be longer if the student so wishes.
There is no obligation on your part, even though it would be greatly appreciated… Alternatively, you could also decide to pay him/her on merit, at the end of the placement, or provide some help towards accommodation and food.
Our students are allowed to apply for grants through our university which could help cover their living costs. In order to apply for those grants, they will need a copy of the Training Agreement, which is why we usually insist on your sending us this agreement as early as possible.
Once you have agreed to taking a student on a placement, perhaps following a telephone interview, you will be sent a Training Agreement by the university. This agreement will contain the following information :
- the student's name and details as well as the company's name and address
- the name of our university
- the name of the degree
- the name of a supervisor in the company and at the university with a possible topic
- the dates of the placement/internship
- the obligation for the student to have his own insurance
- the obligation for the student of writing a final report
