Université Bourgogne Europe Adopts Campus-Wide License to Promote Flexible Learning and Research Collaboration
MATLAB and Simulink Easily Integrated into Existing Learning Management Systems
“Teachers and students all benefit from the same Campus-Wide License, and the feedback on the implementation of this license has been excellent.”
Key Outcomes
- Adopting a Campus-Wide License streamlined access to MATLAB and Simulink products at UBE
- Students and teachers gained flexibility, along with increased possibilities for project-based and collaborative research
- Support from MathWorks enabled integration of MATLAB and Simulink tools across campuses and with existing learning management systems such as Moodle
A Campus-Wide License is being used across Université Bourgogne Europe’s six campuses.
Located in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France, Université Bourgogne Europe (formerly Université de Bourgogne, it has been UBE since January 1, 2025) offers a wide range of undergraduate and advanced degrees, along with certificates in the humanities and sciences. The university serves over 33,000 students across six campuses, playing a major role in employment throughout the region for engineering and technology students.
Teaching departments and research labs at UBE had already been using MATLAB® and Simulink®. Recently, however, there was a desire to access a broader range of toolboxes for individual teachers and researchers. Additionally, UBE’s transition to hybrid teaching created the need for a digital infrastructure that could take advantage of remote learning tools. As a result, UBE worked with MathWorks to adopt a Campus-Wide License (CWL) for both students and teachers to use MATLAB and Simulink tools across all six campuses, including MATLAB Grader™, MATLAB Online™, and Online Training Suite. With the support of MathWorks, UBE was also able to integrate CWL tools into existing learning management systems, such as Moodle™.
CWL adoption was high because of targeted, intrainstitutional communications about the new platform supported by MathWorks. In particular, adoption was high at the University Institute of Technology in Le Creusot and the Higher Institute of Automobile and Transport in Nevers. In total, the CWL has been downloaded by over 1,000 users.
Implementing a CWL has streamlined access to MATLAB and Simulink products at UBE, making it simpler for teachers, researchers, and students to use various toolboxes and take part in flexible learning along with collaborative research opportunities. In the future, UBE aims to build on existing MATLAB adoption in Bourgogne’s high schools to enhance teaching continuity within the region’s educational ecosystem.
