Master in Advanced Motorcycle Engineering (AAE)

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 i ndustrial 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.

MUNER is a university specializing in the automotive sector. It offers a variety of master's degree programs in mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineering. Its educational approach is characterized by learning by doing. MUNER is not a traditional university, but the result of the synergy between four historic universities and the world's 18 leading automotive companies, including the most prestigious in Motor Valley, where MUNER is rooted.

What is MUNER?

MUNER – Motorvehicle University of Emilia-Romagna – is a campus as big as a region, that has its roots in the Motor Valley: the land of legends and cutting-edge technology, where the history of the two and four wheels was written.

MUNER is now delivering 3 high-level Master’s Degrees (Advanced Automotive Engineering, Electric Vehicle Engineering, and Electronic Engineering for Intelligent Vehicles), serving over 700 students since its foundation in 2017 . More than 90% of MUNER graduates find employment right after earning their degree - about half of which are within our partner companies.

Here is where the most famous automotive Companies in the world put their know-how and the most innovative technologies at the service of students who want to become the new professionals in the automotive field and are willing to design road and racing vehicles, more sustainable propulsion systems and the subsystems for intelligent functions and production facilities in the pursuit of Industry 4.0.

ART – Advanced Solution, AVL, Bosch, CNH, Automobili Lamborghini, Danisi Engineering, Dallara, Ducati, Ferrari, HaasF1Team, HPE COXA, Marelli, Maserati, Pagani, Pirelli, Scuderia AlphaTauri, STMicroelectronics – and the main Universities of Emilia Romagna – Bologna, Modena e Reggio Emilia, Ferrara, Parma – merged together to design the 8 Automotive Engineering Careers of the future.

The Automotive Engineering Careers that drive you into the Future.

MUNER – The Motorvehicle University of Emilia Romagna benefits from the Emilia-Romagna Regional Operational Programme FESR 2014/2020, the planning document that defines the strategy and operations of use of Community funds allocated to the Region by the European Regional Development Fund, in the framework of the cohesion policy, in furtherance of the economic growth and attractiveness of the regional territory.

The Emilia-Romagna Smart Specialization Strategy (S3) focus also on mechanics and engine engineering among other productive areas of the Region. The Muner, as part of this specific environment, collaborates with the Region in the definition of the plans of activities for the achievement of S3 objectives. Thanks to the funds for the development of the Smart Specialization Strategy, MUNER aims at reinforcing the regional research and innovation system and facilitates the interaction between laboratories and enterprises.
