University Lumière Lyon 2 advocates student mobility through exchange programs and internships in numerous countries. International openness is a priority for our academic institution, as demonstrated by over 500 cooperation agreements with nearly 400 foreign institutions in 60 countries. Almost 20% of the university’s students are international, especially since numerous dual diploma programs with foreign academic institutions are proposed, as well as international research activities.

In 1992, the University Lumière Lyon 2 created the University Institute of Technology of Lyon II, known as IUT Lumière. IUT Lumière benefits from the university’s educational and research context as it strives to develop a technological and professional training path. The IUT Lumière operates exclusively on a work-study basis, proposing five DUT (University Diplomas of Technology) and seven professional Bachelor’s degree programs. Since the 2021 educational reform in France, the IUT now also proposes University Bachelors of Technology (BUT). Thanks to its commitment to the professionalization of students and to the strengthening of university-business relationships, IUT Lumière received a distinction from the National Union of IUT Presidents (UNPIUT) in March 2007. In 2014, IUT Lumière was recognized as one of the top three IUTs in France with the highest value-added diploma.
