    The 10 keys to the Dual Master's Degree in Automotive Design and Manufacturing

    1.

    Extensive experience with the Specialist Diploma in Automotive Engineering as a Deusto degree programme, which has been very well received by companies in the sector. This Master's Degree is an enhancement of this programme since it includes dual training as a key and distinctive feature in the teaching of engineering degrees.

    2.

    Our teaching model is based on two ideas: Learning by doing and project-based learning. Dual training represents a further step in this direction, because you will be trained with the same equipment and software tools that you will use in your professional life, while at the same time you will do it on the companies' own premises. 

    3.

    This Master’s course has been designed to respond to the challenges facing the automotive sector, which can be grouped into three key areas: lightweighting, advanced manufacturing and virtual prototyping. 

    4.

    You will gain in-depth knowledge of the sector's technologies with specialist training in the automotive sector.

    5.

    You will learn with real challenges from companies and technology centres in the sector

    6.

    You will spend 4 months in a company or technology centre, where you will be able to specialise in a thematic area of the automotive industry.

    7.

    You will use state-of-the-art technologies. You will combine your studies at the university and the facilities of leading companies that work to innovate in the automotive sector.

    8.

    This sector, due to its unique complexity and high competitiveness, together with the high rate of technological change, needs professionals with a multidisciplinary and high-level training. Therefore, they need both technical and project management skills in a highly competitive and globalised market.

    9.

    The programme is supported by relevant companies in the sector and
    research and innovation technology centres.

    10.

    The University of Deusto has more than 40 years of experience training graduates
    in Engineering.
