MUNER unveils innovative Off-Highway Vehicle Engineering program in 2024

MUNER – Motorvehicle University of Emilia Romagna announces the introduction of its Off-Highway Vehicle Engineering program for 2024.

This innovative initiative includes a specialized summer school in Off-Highway Vehicle Design and a comprehensive curriculum integrated into the Master’s Degree in Advanced Automotive Engineering, starting September 2024.

Since its launch in 2017, MUNER has become a beacon of excellence in automotive education, offering customised master’s programmes and graduating nearly 1000 students. With the support of the Emilia Romagna region, MUNER has consistently bridged academia and industry, preparing students for leadership roles in vehicle design, sustainable propulsion and manufacturing.

Recognising the importance of addressing climate change and the evolving needs of industry, MUNER is expanding its focus to include off-highway vehicles such as agricultural machinery. The Off-Highway Vehicle Engineering programme will provide specialised training in technical, scientific and agronomic aspects and will foster collaboration with global agricultural machinery manufacturers.

MUNER’s educational offer dedicated to these topics includes:

• The Summer School in Off-Highway Vehicle Design: it offers an intensive on-campus programme of lectures, workshops and seminars at the Bologna and Modena campuses and at the CNH factory from 27 to 31 May 2024. Open to EU bachelor’s degree holders in engineering and STEM fields, applications are now open until March 25, 2024.
  The school is specifically designed for students interested in the field, who may wish to take a test before applying for the new curriculum starting in September.
