Prerequisites
General requirements for MSc programmes at DTU are given at DTUs homepage.
The prerequisite for the MSc in Wind Energy is a BSc degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or other relevant academic background.
Study Plan
The aim of the MSc programme in Wind Energy is to give you a general understanding of wind energy and a deep insight and knowledge in technologies related to wind power production which qualifies you to analyse, design, develop, and operate wind energy systems.
The programme in Wind Energy is characterized by the following:
-
The education covers the broad range of technologies involved in wind power.
-
All courses are taught on an advanced technical level, in English.
-
The teaching is based upon and integrated with world-leading research in wind energy.
-
A high degree of freedom is given in the choice of focus to allow establishment of an individual academic profile.
The wind energy industry and others are actively involved in the specialization. External partners take active part in the teaching. The Masters thesis often involves an active cooperation with the one or more external partners.
Program Provisions
To obtain the MSc degree in Wind Energy, the student must fulfill the following requirements:
-
Have passed General Competence Courses adding up to 30 ECTS points
-
Have passed Technological Specialization Courses adding up to at least 30 points
-
Have performed a Master Thesis of at least 30 points within Wind Energy.
-
Have passed a sufficient number of Elective Courses from the list to bring the total number of ECTS points of the entire study to 120.
General Competence Courses
Course 41313 Wind Turbine Technology and Aerodynamics is mandatory in the beginning of the programme. The course gives a broad understanding of wind energy technology and is essential for a deeper understanding of wind turbines needed in succeeding courses.
