Master in Ingegneria dei Veicoli Fuoristrada (OHVE)

For students aiming for a career as design and manufacturing engineers , experts in the development of high-technology off-highway vehicles.

The Off-Highway Vehicle Engineering (OHVE) curriculum, beginning in the 2024-25 academic year , is part of the Master’s Degree in Advanced Automotive Engineering (AAE).

The Master's degree in OHVE program is designed for students who want to pursue careers as design and manufacturing engineers who have a broad vision of modern off-highway vehicles , are experts in the design of high-technology off-highway vehicles , and use state-of-the-art computer-aided engineering methods and tools for fluid power actuation, vehicle dynamics, control and testing, ground interaction, and precision agriculture .

This specific curriculum is aimed at training professionals capable of designing high-technology off-highway vehicles and strong skills in computer-aided design, off-highway propulsion machinery and vehicles, ground interaction, electric drives, fluid power actuation, vehicle dynamics, off-highway control and testing, precision farming machinery.

The first semester of the first academic year is common to the other curricula of the Master in Advanced Automotive Engineering and takes place 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 and the Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences in Bologna .

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.
