Training course

Master in Car Design

The Car Designer is a professional specialized in car design, in the design of bodywork, accessories, lights, interior accessories and car refinishing elements. This automotive design car e design course provides students all the tools necessary to create a complete automotive project, from the concept to 3D rendering and to scale models.
The creation of a new model of car requires a study of the relationship between mobility and territory, which combines the fundamental stylistic aspects with the use of the latest propulsion and engineering technologies in the motors sector, ensuring high standards of energy saving and a reduction in emissions.
Designing, producing, promoting and marketing an automotive design product requires specific skills, desiners have to be able to dialogue with different actors and to move beyond of the classic market logic, have technological and productive skills and basic project management skills.
The urban and road context is constantly evolving, as has become evident with the emergence of charging stations for electric or hybrid vehicles, and the scenario in which the car designer (or automotive designer) operates is transforming at the same pace. Not to mention the emergence of driverless vehicles such as the Google Car, which makes it necessary to radically rethink the organisation of a car's interior spaces.
