Transportation Design is an undergraduate and postgraduate design discipline focused on designing vehicles and mobility experiences. The course covers vehicle form, sketching, digital modelling, physical modelling, materials and mobility systems, with increasing attention to electric vehicles, sustainable mobility and human interaction with vehicles.
Students learn to develop transportation concepts from initial sketches and research through digital visualisation, modelling and prototyping. Depending on the programme, the focus can include automotive, two-wheelers, public transportation and broader mobility systems.
Graduates can explore careers such as Transportation Designer, Automotive Designer, Exterior Designer, Interior Designer, Mobility Designer, Automotive Visualiser and Transportation Design Researcher. The specific career path depends on the student's specialisation, portfolio, technical skills, project experience and employer requirements.
