Master of Science in Wind Energy Engineering
A specialized master’s programme in wind energy engineering, blending technical expertise with project development and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Best for:Best for engineering graduates seeking specialized expertise in renewable energy, particularly those interested in wind turbine technology, project development, or interdisciplinary engineering solutions.
Overview
This Master of Science programme in Wind Energy Engineering at Flensburg University of Applied Sciences offers a comprehensive curriculum focused on wind turbine technology, renewable energy systems, and project development. Students explore environmental impacts on the wind industry, technical mathematics, and English technical writing in the first semester. The second semester delves deeply into wind turbine aerodynamics, rotor structures, and broader engineering principles. In the third semester, students specialize in one of four majors: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Structural Engineering, or Project Development. The programme culminates in a collaborative wind turbine design project and a master’s thesis, often conducted in collaboration with industry partners. The programme is fully taught in English and emphasizes international collaboration through group work and elective courses in German and English language training.
