Wind energy plays a central role in the global transition towards a greener future. In the Master of Science (MSc) in Wind Energy, you learn how modern wind turbines and wind farms are designed, analysed, and integrated into energy systems. The programme prepares you to design technologies that transform wind into reliable, large-scale renewable power.
Wind energy is one of the fastest-growing sources of renewable electricity and a key technology in the global energy transition. If you choose to study Wind Energy, you gain in-depth knowledge of the technologies and systems that enable large-scale wind power.
You learn how wind turbines and wind farms are designed, analysed, and operated. The programme combines core engineering disciplines, including aerodynamics, structural mechanics, electrical engineering, and energy systems.
Through this multidisciplinary approach, you develop the skills needed to understand the entire wind energy system –from the aerodynamic behaviour of turbine blades to the integration of wind power into modern electricity grids.
The programme is closely connected to leading research environments and the wind energy industry. You work with research-based methods, industry-relevant case studies, and advanced simulation tools used in modern wind energy engineering.
Many courses involve project work and collaboration, where you develop solutions together with other students. This gives you insight into current technological challenges and prepares you to develop the next generation of efficient wind energy technologies.

Learn how large turbine components are designed to withstand extreme forces and long operational lifetimes. You work with structural dynamics, composite materials, and advanced modelling of turbine structures.
Graduates from the Master of Science (MSc) in Wind Energy work with the technologies and systems that enable large-scale wind energy. You may design turbine components, analyse aerodynamic loads, or contribute to the development and operation of wind farms.
Many graduates join the global wind energy industry. Some work with turbine manufacturers such as Vestas or Siemens Gamesa as aerodynamic or structural engineers. Others work for energy companies like Ørsted as wind farm developers or power systems engineers, planning and developing offshore and onshore wind farms.
Your skills may also lead to roles focused on integrating wind power into modern electricity systems or developing digital tools for modelling and optimisation as a simulation engineer or data engineer. As wind energy continues to expand worldwide, these competences are in high demand.
You may also pursue a PhD and research the future of advanced turbine technologies, offshore wind systems, and digital solutions for renewable energy.
Challenge yourself with a particularly demanding study track.
