Italian students and international students from the countries of the European Union must apply by July 28, 2017 to access the later stages of the selection process.
A total of 150 students will be selected to launch the first year of the six training programs: 130 places are reserved to citizens and 20 to non-EU citizens.
Modena, July 3, 2017 – The calls for entry have now officially been released for the enrollment of Italian and EU students in the international and inter-university Master’s degree courses promoted by the Motorvehicle University of Emilia-Romagna (MUNER), which are dedicated to six areas of specialization: Advanced Powertrain, Advanced Motorcycle Engineering, Advanced Sportscar Manufacturing, High Performance Car Design, Racing Car Design and Advanced Automotive Electronic Engineering.
University students from all over Europe have until July 28 to complete their applications for admission to the degree programs and access the later stages of the selection process, which, in accordance with the methods described in the two calls, will designate 150 talents from all over the world for the creation of the first classes of the Motorvehicle University of Emilia-Romagna.
The association was strongly endorsed by the regional administration of Emilia-Romagna and is made up of four universities in the region – the University of Bologna, the University of Ferrara, the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, the University of Parma – and of the motor companies that represent the world’s top Italian automotive products, whose history is deeply rooted in the territory: Lamborghini, Dallara, Ducati, Ferrari, Haas F1 Team, HPE Coxa, Magneti Marelli, Maserati and Toro Rosso.
“Through the Motorvehicle University of Emilia-Romagna, companies, universities and institution have united to form a unique territorial system to create and bolster innovation in the automotive industry,” said Andrea Pontremoli, CEO of Dallara Automobili and the new President of MUNER. “Our goal is to attract the world’s best students with the best training programs. The courses of the six professional profiles with be held by the best teachers of the four universities, by visiting professors and by professionals from the various companies. In addition, the companies will provide locations and state-of-the-art labs and equipment such as engine test benches, static and dynamic benches, professional driving simulators and wind tunnels to provide students with training that is in step with the industry’s technological innovation.”
Enrollment
Italian, EU or foreign students regularly residing in the countries of the European Union who wish to enroll in the Advanced Automotive Engineering Master’s degree course must apply for admission by 1:00 pm on July 28, following the instructions provided by the University of Modena and Reggio-Emilia (UNIMORE) at the following link: http://www.international.unimore.it/bandilan.html.
Candidates will be selected through an admission test that will be held on Monday, September 4.
There will be 108 available places out of 120 (the 12 remaining places are reserved to non-EU students), which will be subdivided based on the curricula of the different courses: the High Performance Car Design course is aimed at training engineers who are capable of understanding, setting up and designing the “cold” architecture of high performance road vehicles, through the study of the main aspects of planning and design. The Advanced Powertrain course, which is offered both in Modena and Bologna, is aimed at training engineers who are capable of designing and contributing to the engineering of traditional and innovative propulsion systems.
The postgraduate course in Racing Car Design focuses on the development of the “cold” architecture of racing cars. The Advanced Motorcycle Engineering course is aimed at providing students with an in-depth knowledge of the various aspects related to the design and development of both standard and competition high-tech motorcycles. The goal of the Advanced Sportscar Manufacturing course is instead to train engineers who are capable of planning, developing, controlling and managing industry-specific automotive production systems based on today’s most modern manufacturing processes.
These specialised courses are offered in close collaboration with Lamborghini, Dallara, Ducati, Ferrari, Haas F1 Team, HPE Coxa, Magneti Marelli, Maserati and Toro Rosso. Part of the lessons will be held at the experimental facilities and laboratories of the various companies.
Italian and EU students who are interested in the Master’s Degree in Advanced Automotive Electronic Engineering will be able to enroll instead on the portal of the University of Bologna (UNIBO), at the following link:
This Master’s Degree is aimed at training experts capable of designing and engineering the most advanced electronic, computer and connectivity systems in an automotive sector.
There will be 22 places available out of 30 (the 8 remaining places are reserved to non-EU students) and students will have until July 28 to enroll and access the selection phase.
After the final deadline for submitting applications, the Commission will examine them to verify whether the candidates present the curricular requirements and are adequately prepared. Selected candidates will then be admitted to the final phase of individual interviews that will take place from September 4-9. Admission to the ranking depends on the positive evaluation of the submitted documentation and on the outcome of the interview.
Admission requirements
Students who wish to enroll in the Advanced Automotive Engineering and Advanced Automotive Electronic Engineering Master’s degree courses must have obtained a three-year degree that has provided them with adequate expertise in engineering and in basic technical/scientific subjects (Maths, Chemistry and Physics). They also must have obtained a final grade higher than or equal to 95/100 (or an equivalent, for non-Italian applicants), and must possess sufficient knowledge of the English language to be able to use industry-specific texts and follow lessons and seminars in this language – their level must be equal or superior to level B2 of the Common European Framework.
