IUT SD Carcassonne

What IUT SD Carcassonne does

IUT SD Carcassonne is the Science des Données department of the Institut Universitaire de Technologie de Perpignan, itself part of Université Perpignan Via Domitia (UPVD), a French public university under the Ministry of Higher Education and Research. Located at Campus Albert Fert in Carcassonne, it serves students seeking practical higher-education programs in data science and commercial techniques through university technology and professional qualifications. Its operating model is therefore that of a public academic department rather than an independent technology company.\n\nThe department's core output is instruction tied to its two campus disciplines and delivered through the wider IUT and UPVD system. Digital delivery and administration rely on a UPVD mobile application, centralized online registration, and national admissions platforms including Parcoursup, MonMaster and e-candidat. The disclosed technology is supporting infrastructure for enrollment, communication and student services, rather than a separately commercialized software platform or an established AI product capability.\n\nFunding comes primarily from UPVD's public financing and government-set student charges rather than enterprise contracts. Listed annual fees are €178 for a Licence, €255 for a Master and €630 for an engineering diploma, with a mandatory €105 CVEC contribution and exemptions or reduced rates in specified cases. Student recruitment is conducted through the national platforms and the central UPVD registration system; no standalone Carcassonne revenue, private ownership interest or public company ticker is disclosed.
