Scuola Politecnica di Design and Volkswagen offer scholarships for Transportation and Car Design Masters

The Scuola Politecnica di Design and Volkswagen Group Design are offering eight scholarships for this year's Transportation and Car Design Master's program, which starts on 21 October.

Aspiring designers who hold a degree in transportation design, car design or equivalent have the chance to be awarded partial and full-fee tuition waivers should they impress the examination board.

The selection is based on a portfolio evaluation, an interview and the submission of a project set by the examination board to test the candidate's conceptual and technical abilities. The process will be carried out jointly by SPD and VW.

This is the third year of VW's academic partnership with SPD following the program's launch in 2010, with the collaboration set to continue until 2015. The partnership focuses on the development of experimental mobility projects for the Lamborghini, Audi and Volkswagen brands.

For detailed information on the scholarships and relevant eligibility rules visit the SPD's Transportation and Car Design program website.
