Automotive Engineering

Automotive Engineering Technology has become a popular choice among young people eager to pursue a career in the automotive industry. However, to succeed and build a long-term career in this field, students should keep in mind the importance of constantly updating their technological knowledge, combining theory with hands-on practice, and developing soft skills.

The Automotive Engineering Technology program at NTT Institute of International Education (NIIE) is a 4-year course designed to train automotive engineers with knowledge and skills in vehicle design, manufacturing, maintenance, and business. Students are equipped with up-to-date knowledge on conventional vehicles, hybrid cars, and electric vehicles through advanced curricula, specialized workshops, sessions with industry experts, and research projects.

The program emphasizes practical training through modern facilities on campus, real-world projects, site visits, field trips, and internships at leading manufacturers, service centers, and auto dealerships.

Additionally, the program features integrated English training to help students reach B2 proficiency (equivalent to IELTS 5.5–6.0), and provides essential soft skills such as communication, problem-solving, and entrepreneurship—empowering students to thrive and grow in any professional environment.
