At the end of highschool, each student is in front of lot of choices about his future. What does one want to study? Where do I want to study? What sort of job i want to work for? And so on … I would like to focus about a specific degree in France that may be achieve in 2 years, it is called a DUT SRC.

What the hell is a DUT SRC?

It is a degree that suggests Communications networks and services (in french “Services et Réseaux de Communications”). The target of this degree is to obtain a double capability in services and networks: communication and service development on electronic media (websites, DVD, …), Developing and implementation of information technologies and networks.

You can apply for this degree after finishing high school, in France you need to have a “baccaulaurat”.
