The program seemed just amazing: every aspect so well planned and executed from the education in motor vehicle engineering delivered to the cultural experiences interspersed and the beautiful living quarters. We were very impressed by the breadth of the education delivered in such a short period. All in all the students were engaged in learning round the clock.
The factory tours, museums, and lectures were very educational and exciting. The cultural activities were a wonderful bonus. The program was exceptionally well organized and packed with unique experiences, and it has further inspired my son to pursue his passion!
The Italian Motor Valley Experience was a truly once in a lifetime chance to be immersed in the automotive world. I had an incredible 2 weeks, not only attending lectures and factory tours but also meeting other likeminded people who I will definitely stay in touch with!
After my experience at the MUNER summer school program I am able to say that it exceeded my already high expectations and I plan to utilize the knowledge I gained throughout the lectures, labs, and factory tours in my future career as an engineer. Thank you for all that you did to put together this once in a lifetime experience.
My daughter is incredibly grateful that such program exists and that it also caters to girls in her age group. The program is superb: it has given her life skills and academic skills that she will use for the rest of her life. She will never forget her summer in Modena!
This experience has given me the chance to understand more about the automotive industry and, consequently, about my possible future career path as well. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life!
