Wind Energy
Wind Energy
In the specialization Wind Energy, students achieve a general understanding of wind energy and knowledge of the various technologies related to the field, an understanding that enables them to analyse, design, develop and operate wind energy systems.
The specialization combines socio-economic aspects of sustainable energy with relevant technical disciplines, such as measurement techniques, design of wind turbines, offshore wind energy, power system integration, and planning and development of wind farms.
Graduates with a degree from the Wind Energy study line are highly qualified candidates for jobs in the rapidly expanding wind energy sector.
To complete the specialization in Wind Energy the student must fulfill the following requirements:
- Have passed Polyechinal Foundation courses adding up to at least 10 ECTS
- Have passed Progemme Specific courses adding up to at least 50 ECTS
- Have performed a Master Thesis of at least 30 ECTS
- Have passed a sufficient number of Elective courses to bring the total number of ECTS to the entire study to 120 ECTS
