University Bachelor of Technology (B.U.T.) Chemistry – Sète Campus

Our IUT’s Chemistry Departments provide both a theoretical and practical  education, mainly aiming to equip students to become qualified technicians, who will be engineers’ or research scientists’ direct co-workers, in all application fields of chemistry.

As part of its locally-oriented teachings (10% of the course), the Chemistry Department at the Sète Campus provides training on the environment, more specifically environmental chemical analysis. This environment-focused education tackles topics such as air, water and soil pollution, waste treatment, rehabilitating polluted sites, sampling techniques and field analysis.
