Teaching
The Master in automotive design consists of theory lessons, workshops and car design courses. In this way students will acquire professional skills combined with a methodological awareness of the entire design process.
Characteristics and aims
The training pathway in transportation design deals with challenging themes for the mobility system. Students are involved in workshops, car design classes that go from concept to prototyping by analizing contemporary lifestyles, design trends, social and ecological issues, technological and production restraints. The Master’s in automotive design adopts the work methodology of professional styling centers. Projects carried out over the Master range from concept car design to the restyling of a production model. Students start from defining the identity of the vehicle: concepts, personality, innovative architectures to capture the attention of the consumer. The Master’s programme focuses both on exterior and interior design as the car is increasingly becoming seen as a space to live in. Upon selection, the Master’s admits candidates holding a degree in Car Design, Industrial Design, Engineering or their equivalents, students from Car Design schools; candidates who have gained significant professional experience in the field.
Length of course
The Master’s course lasts for one year (october to november with a summer break in august). Attendance is full-time and compulsory.
Language
The Master's course will be held in English.

Professional openings
The Car Designer is able to face transportation design using a multidisciplinary approach. His work blends aspects of engineering, ergonomics, design and performance with environmental sustainability and social awareness. And all this while paying close attention to technological and production constraints. In order to take on this complex task he will with experience develop significant managerial skills such as the ability to collaborate with all the other people involved in the car development process. The Car Designer works in teams in the styling centres of car manufacturers or in external design firms. There are also interesting opportunities open to those interested in studying alternative ecological means of transportation.
