IAAD. is universally recognized as one of the most important Automotive Design Schools in Italy and in the world. Our students have been proudly creating innovative projects for the last 40 years in Turin, the heart of the Italian automotive industry, and many of them have then moved on to become active part of iconic brands. Still, when speaking of Transportation design, we know that this is not about just giving birth to a beautiful show car: many elements need to be considered and included in the equation. Designing a vehicle today must take into account technological, social, marketing needs, budget constraints, and environmental sustainability. Younger generations are carrying out their concerns for the environment, calling out what we collectively, as a Society, can do to minimize our impact over it. They want to continue moving from one place to another efficiently, yet limiting as much as possible the environmental and economic impacts and costs of it. That is why our Transportation Design Bachelor’s Degree deals with the study of the main means of transport with a focus on mobility systems and environmental sustainability, with the aim of training fully-aware designers by transmitting the importance of knowing the referring market and the society that embodies it.

Stay ahead of future mobility trends and work with leading automotive brands in the iconic city of car design. This is what our three-year Transportation Design Undergraduate Programme at IED Torino is all about
