Master’s in Field Battery Diagnostics and Data Analytics
Online master's programme of 1,900 hours in field battery diagnostics and data analytics. 12 modules covering real-world degradation, BMS data and telemetry, state estimation, fault diagnosis, data analysis, machine learning, digital twins, workshop diagnostics, state-of-health certification under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, and fleet and storage applications, with an assigned technical tutor.
Master’s in Field Battery Diagnostics and Data Analytics — studying from Canada
Canada's motorcycle and two-wheeler market is relatively modest compared with the car sector, but it supports a network of dealers, distributors, parts suppliers and recreational riding communities. Manufacturers and importers serve markets across provinces, with seasonal demand shaped by climate. Engineering work in this area includes vehicle homologation, component design and electric two-wheeler development. Regulation of vehicle safety and emissions involves federal and provincial authorities.
Fees for Canada: C$12,400 (Canadian dollar), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Canada
Is this programme recognised by professional bodies in Canada for motorcycle engineering?
SEIUM's qualifications are private, not official state degrees, and are not accredited by any national body in Canada. Vehicle engineering roles in Canada are generally not licensed by a single title-protected body, but employers and industry associations set their own expectations. Transport Canada regulates vehicle safety standards, which is separate from any qualification. Check recognition with prospective employers directly.
What career paths in Canada could this qualification support in the 2-wheeler sector?
Potential roles include design, testing, product development and technical support with motorcycle and powersports manufacturers, distributors and component suppliers. Whether a private qualification is valued is for each employer to decide, and experience often matters most in this sector. The final project can provide a concrete portfolio piece, though it does not guarantee any position.
How can I manage this programme alongside work in Canada?
The programme is entirely online and in English, so it suits students across Canadian time zones, and no student visa is needed to study from home. Workload ranges from 300 to 1,900 hours depending on the programme chosen. Fees are payable in instalments, and employer sponsorship is possible. An assigned technical tutor provides guidance throughout.
