Introduction
The curriculum in Advanced Motorcycle Engineering is part of the Master's Degree in Advanced Automotive Engineering (AAE) and is designed for students who wish to pursue a career as design and manufacturing engineers, experts in the development of high performance and racing motorcycles, with a focus on chassis and powertrain design and manufacturing, including motorcycle vehicle dynamics.
The course lasts two academic years and covers aspects related to mechanical engineering, electronics, and industrial design of high-performance and racing motorcycles with particular attention to design, vibration mechanics, mechanical technology, dynamics, endothermic powertrain, and BEV design, as well as driving assistance systems.
The number of places is limited to a maximum of 17 students. Admissions are based on merit and interviews evaluating motivations and skills. All classes are taught in English.
The first semester of the first academic year is common to the other curricula of the Advanced Automotive Engineering Master and is held at the Department of Engineering Enzo Ferrari (Modena Campus). Starting from the second semester of the first academic year, all courses will be held at the Department of Industrial Engineering (Bologna Campus).
Muner's international faculty consists of highly experienced lecturers and professionals. The contents of the courses have been defined together with the contribution of the partner companies to ensure that the training is in line with the current requirements of the labor market.
The program requires students to participate in numerous laboratory activities, either on campus or at 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, which are conducted using a "project work" approach.

Career Opportunities
The curriculum has been designed in close collaboration with companies operating in the automotive sector, in order to allow the seamless insertion of graduates in high-level positions in the research, development and manufacturing environments focused on vehicles and their technologies.
Since companies require highly qualified engineers with specialized skills, the Master's program requires students to complete mandatory internships in private companies, as well as laboratory-based thesis preparation activities that follow a "project work" approach. Students also attend seminars with industry and international speakers, factory visits and alumni talks throughout the year.
The Advanced Automotive Engineer expert in motorcycles will be responsible for the design and development of high technology motor vehicles, both standard and race specific. He/she will deal with and manage aspects typical of electronic and automotive engineering with a focus on industrial design specific to motorcycles.
