Master’s in Sharing Systems and City Engineering — studying from Australia

Motorcycles and two-wheeled vehicles are a significant part of Australian transport and recreation, with strong demand for motorcycles, scooters and e-bikes in urban and regional areas. Engineers working in this field contribute to chassis and powertrain design, rider safety systems and emissions compliance. National vehicle standards and rider safety initiatives shape product development and testing. Employers include motorcycle importers and distributors, component suppliers, accessory makers and e-mobility start-ups.

Fees for Australia: A$12,600 (AUD), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Australia

Will a SEIUM qualification be recognised for motorcycle engineering roles in Australia?

SEIUM qualifications are private and not accredited by any Australian national body. Recognition for engineering or vehicle compliance roles is decided by individual employers and relevant bodies. Vehicle safety and compliance in Australia are governed by national design rules, which apply regardless of your qualification, so check requirements with the employer.

Which Australian employers work in motorcycle and two-wheeler engineering?

Motorcycle and scooter importers, distributors, component suppliers, dealer service networks and performance workshops are examples of Australian employers in this field. Whether they value a private qualification depends on their policies. Practical experience and a strong final project portfolio are typically persuasive in this industry.

Is the course suitable for someone working full time in Australia?

The programmes are delivered 100% online in English with an assigned technical tutor, so you can study from home at times that suit you. Fees are payable in instalments, and employers may sponsor you. Check the hours required for your chosen programme and make sure your schedule allows steady progress.

Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

100% online programme on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within each intake, so you can combine it with your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is QGIS, Python, Remix, Power BI and PTV Visum, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Real procedures are studied: spatial analysis of moped-sharing demand in a city, drafting licence tender specifications for sharing operators, and optimising the night-time rebalancing of a shared bicycle fleet. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: ISO 37120, ISO 37101, Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Spanish Law 9/2017 on Public Sector Contracts, Royal Decree 970/2020, GBFS (General Bikeshare Feed Specification), MDS (Mobility Data Specification), ISO 39001.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.

Standards-based learning:guided reading of ISO 37120, ISO 37101, GBFS and MDS applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.

Industry software:QGIS, Python, Remix, Power BI and PTV Visum, in free, academic or evaluation versions.

Master's Thesis with defence:Implementation plan for a sharing system in a city, defended before a panel.

Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
