After a first foundation year in Transportation Design, the course offers two different courses designed to prepare two specific kinds of professionally trained experts.

The Car Designer is a professional who handles the design aspects of a vehicle and defines the lines and the components. It’s a very complex and many-sided professional figure and his or her competence implies also a profound understanding of aspects that are, for example, the psychological and emotional mechanisms of the consumers in relation to the concept of transport or the social contexts and the culture of different target groups of reference.

The first year is dedicated to propaedeutic activities, which constitute thefoundations of basic training, cultural references, tools and rules thatdistinguish and characterise aptitudes and attitudes towards projects.

The second year concentrates on methodology and guided projects.The student acquires awareness and competencies in specific professional fields through guided practice, the study of technical disciplines, lessons onculture, with particular attention given to the evolution of contexts, marketsand languages.

The third year is dedicated to advanced project design and to professionalrole-play simulation, tackling the design project competencies and skills ofprofessionals in various sectors. The peak moment in the last six-month module is the dissertation projectwhich is complex and highly structured. These projects are carried out inteams in collaboration with Public Bodies or Companies that collaborate with the Istituto Europeo di Design in the aim of finding original and innovative solutions.

Students are spurred to acquire operative autonomy, the capacity to make coherent and sustained choices, to establish relationships with customersand to take on specific responsibilities. This semi-professional experience represents a winning card for graduates when they enter the working world.
