Job opportunities
At the end of the experience, students will have completed training as E-Car Designer, E-Yacht Dsigner and E-Bike
designers and will be able to find employment in technical studios and style centres of car manufacturers, companies
manufacturers of electric motors, or start your own professional automotive design studio.
The training received will enable them to take care of all phases of a project, from the acquisition and management of statistical data, to the
graphic and 3D design, through to internal communication and external promotion.
At the end of each module, students will be asked to present a project that will be assessed by a
commission of professionals.

Training course
IDI's Automotive Design Experience is a professional training course divided into 3 modules:
CAR DESIGN, YACHT DESIGN AND E-BIKE DESIGN.
This master's course will allow you to enter an innovative world, learning theoretical and practical techniques for the
design and implementation of a fully sustainable automotive product.
The course will be divided into classroom phases with lectures by experienced lecturers in the field and laboratory phases with the
opportunity to meet professionals, innovative materials and site realities.
The development of the project will take place during the classroom phase, with the help of the teachers, through a direct approach with
materials and design processes in site workshops.
Educational trips to construction sites and test drives on bike and/or mountain bike circuits will be provided. The
student will have to develop a project for each of the three paths, which will be judged by a commission consisting of
professionals.
The best project will have the chance to receive a 50% grant.
How to apply
Fill in the information request form and we will contact you within a few days. In the selection of candidates will be
considered the school and work CV, as well as the motivational letter produced; you can support the application
with a portfolio of previous work. The examining board, having considered these elements, will announce the outcome
selection and admission to the Course/Master's degree by submitting the application form.
Facilitations
Possibility of financing the registration fee; career guidance meeting during the classroom phase;
CV video production during the full-immersion; Re-editing and updating of CV for dissemination to the
companies in the sector at the end of the training course; Recommendations of accommodation in areas surrounding the
conduct of the classroom phase.
