“To make YOU a successful CAR Designer”
Hi! Do you dream of being the next Battista Pininfarina? Walter De’Silva? Chris Bangle? Or Shiro Nakamura?!? Yes?? Then we’re here to help your dreams take the flight. But do you know how to become a car designer? Well, car design as a discipline is rapidly evolving and the future of mobility offers great new possibilities. The work of a car designer combines artistry with some technical and scientific knowhow since finished designs must incorporate aesthetic and functional concerns.

A professional portfolio and an internship will definitely boost your chances to secure a job after graduation. But how do you prepare for it??
