Introduction
The Curriculum in Advanced Powertrain (AP) is part of the Master’s Degree Course in Advanced Automotive Engineering (AAE) and is designed for students pursuing careers as design and manufacturing engineers, experts in the development of high-performance powertrain systems.
This curriculum offers two different specializations, both targeted at students who aspire to a career as design and manufacturing engineers, experts in the development of high performance propulsion systems with a focus on internal combustion engines and hybrid propulsion systems.
- The first specialization, held at the Bologna campus, focuses on internal combustion engine and hybrid powertrain modeling and control, powertrain testing, calibration and homologation. The first semester of the first academic year is common to the other curricula of the Master in Advanced Automotive Engineering 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).
- The second specialization, held at the Modena campus, focuses on the design and modeling of high-performance combustion systems, with particular emphasis on FEM and CFD calculations. it is held entirely at the Department of Engineering Enzo Ferrari (Modena Campus).
The Curriculum in Advanced Powertrain lasts two academic years and it provides the core competencies related to high-performance vehicle powertrain systems.
The number of places is limited to a maximum of 20 students for the Advanced Powertrain - Modena Campus and 20 students for the Advanced Powertrain - Bologna Campus, for a total of 40 places. Admission is based on merit and interviews to assess motivation and skills. All classes are taught in English.
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.
Advanced Automotive Engineers will be able to design, develop and manufacture the main subsystems of cars and motorcycles, with particular reference to the premium market and racing vehicles. The Advanced Powertrain Engineer will be able to design traditional and innovative powertrain systems, paying attention to their optimization as well as to the control and solution of environmental and energy issues.
