COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Wind Energy is a specialised one-year program designed for engineering graduates and professionals seeking to become experts in wind energy systems. The curriculum, comprising 90 ECTS, combines advanced taught modules with a substantial project component, providing students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Core modules focus on wind energy engineering and design, structural dynamics, aeroelasticity, and engineering acoustics, equipping students to analyse and optimise wind turbine performance and wind farm integration. Complementary modules in research methods, advanced mechanics of materials, and finite element analysis strengthen technical competencies and support evidence-based engineering practice. The program also offers optional modules across energy systems engineering, computational fluid dynamics, digital control systems, renewable energy economics, green hydrogen technology, project management, and innovation, allowing students to tailor their learning to emerging trends in renewable energy and sustainable technologies. A key feature of the program is the 30-ECTS Masters Project, where students undertake an in-depth investigation of a wind energy problem, applying advanced modelling, design, and analysis techniques, and integrating considerations of environmental sustainability and operational efficiency. This practical research experience fosters independent problem-solving and prepares graduates for leadership roles in the wind energy sector. Upon completion, students are well-equipped to contribute to the design, development, and deployment of wind energy technologies, pursue careers in consultancy, engineering design, and research, and drive innovation in the renewable energy industry. The program’s combination of technical rigour, applied research, and optional interdisciplinary modules ensures that graduates are capable of addressing the challenges of sustainable energy generation and advancing the global transition to renewable power.
