Introduction
This course is held in English language
The Master's Program in Transportation Design offers people with a great passion for cars the chance to engage strongly in car design techniques. It takes students to the core of the design world, making them learn about innovative thinking and how to approach, develop, and finalize the design of a car exterior and a car interior.
Turin is the perfect city for this course, because it is the world capital of car design, and it was the birthplace of the most important design houses and car companies in Italy. The city offers the chance to get the whole network of Car Designers to come to IED sharing their abilities with our students for classes, lectures, workshops, or for recruiting young talents.

Curriculum
Methodology and structure
The first year gathers students coming from different backgrounds, providing a shared theoretical and design basis.
At the end of the first year, participants can choose the second-year major: Car Exterior Design or Car Interior Design and User Experience. Both specializations receive a commission from a Design Centre for a concept car project, letting students become involved in what is a true work environment. They work on the same project but focus on different aspects. Both of them also deal with some mutual discipline and workshops, which provide in-depth analyses of Advanced Design and Interface Design.
Car Exterior Design students deal with all the different stages of the drafting and with the problems faced by a style center, the final objective being the production of a full-size scale model.
In the Car Interior and User Experience major, students focus on the interiors of the car using the most advanced technologies to develop interactive platforms and interfaces. They deal with planning and timing by facing a real case study, then they work on the design phase with the concept creation.
The Final Project consists of a unique mock-up joining the efforts of the students coming from both majors.
