The “Digital Luxembourg” initiative, launched by the Luxembourg government in 2014, aims to strengthen the country’s position in the ICT sector. The “Future Hub” label, awarded to three secondary schools, represents the concrete implementation of this vision within technically oriented and innovative schools.

The BTS in Cloud Computing

The BTS Cloud Computing program fits into this strategy by offering, over a two‑year cycle, a curriculum focused on cutting‑edge cloud technologies and modern IT-infrastructures, with strong involvement from external partners and a modern, ICT‑adapted teaching approach.

The student‑centered pedagogy combines lectures, laboratory work, self‑learning sessions, and training delivered by specialists from our partner organizations. This structure enables students to acquire the knowledge and skills required to work in the field of cloud computing.

New since 2024-25: Several courses will collaborate on shared cloud‑related projects starting from the very first weeks. This reduces the total number of projects while making them more engaging and challenging. It also allows each student to build a personal portfolio on Git/LinkedIn.

The program concludes with a 12‑week internship, designed to ensure a smooth transition into professional life.

Given the technical nature of the program, enrollment is limited to a maximum of 14 students per year. Admission is based on a competitive exam consisting of a technical English reading‑comprehension test and an interview in English, as well as a test about basic Linux competencies.
