The Curriculum in High Performance Car Design (HPCD) is part of the Master’s Degree Course in Advanced Automotive Engineering (AAE) and it aims to train professionals able to design high performance road vehicles, with strong skills in vehicle design, dynamics and NVH, aerodynamics and electronics.

This Course lasts two academic years and covers the main aspects of vehicle design and manufacturing, dynamics and NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness), materials behaviour, mechanic technology, aerodynamics, thermofluid dynamics, automatic controls, electronic sensors.

The first semester of the first academic year is common with the other 4 curricula of the AAE Master’s Degree (Advanced Powertrain, Racing Car Design, Advanced Motorcycle Engineering, Advanced Sportscar Manufacturing).

The number of places is limited to a maximum of 20 students. Admissions are based on merit and interviews evaluating motivations and skills. All teachings are delivered entirely in the English language.

The international teaching staff of Muner includes highly experienced lecturers and professionals. The contents have been defined together with the contribution of the partner companies so as to ensure that training is in line with current requirements of the labour market. The aim is providing knowledge and skills related to the design of motorvehicles that are high-performance and suitable for competitions. From hybrid and electric motor propellers to production systems with typical features of the new manufacturing 4.0 environment.

The Program requires student participation in numerous laboratory activities either on campus or on the premises of industrial partners, in line with a “learning by doing” approach. It also includes mandatory internships in private companies and lab-based thesis preparation activities carried out following a “project work” approach.
