ERASMUS MUNDUS MASTER IN WIND ENERGY
ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
This programme is run jointly by four
European Universities:
ww Delft University of Technology
(TUDelft) (coordinator)
ww Technical University of Denmark
(DTU)
ww Carl von Ossietzky Universität
Oldenburg (UniOl)
ww Norwegian University of Science and
Technology (NTNU)
The joint first semester and the specific
multi-disciplinary and project-oriented
teaching will give the student the ability
to transfer knowledge and competences
beyond his/her specialisation and to
embed design choices in a sociotechnical
context. The student acquires knowledge
in theoretical and applied sciences
underlying wind energy systems, and
specific competencies necessary to ope-
rate in the chosen area of specialisation.
The student builds the specific know-
ledge of the MSc track and profile
through courses, practical courses and
assignments/projects, complemented by
a directed internship and a supervised
final MSc project. The consolidation of
the theoretical content is made by a
range of experimental and computational
assignments.
To expose the student to the state-of-
the-art and new challenges in Wind
Energy, the programme is comple-
mented by the EWEM Summer School
event, regular EWEM Symposia by guest
lecturers from associated partners and
the EWEM Innovation and Entrepre-
neurship Workshop.
EWEM track structure: each EWEM is a
two-year joint programme (120 ECTS)
with seven distinct elements:
ww Introduction (20 ECTS): lectured at
DTU, it consists of the courses Wind
Energy Technology and Aerodyna-
mics and Technology, Economics,
Management and Organisation.
ww Specialization (49-61 ECTS): this
block includes compulsory (core) and
elective courses, both on the specia-
lisation (applied and fundamental)
and general competences, such as
scientific writing, research methodo-
logies and languages. There are four
tracks of specialisation transversally
connected by its application to wind
energy technology:
• Wind Physics (DTU and UniOl)
• Rotor Design (TUDelft and DTU)
• Electric Power Systems (NTNU
and TUDelft)
• Offshore Engineering (TUDelft
and NTNU)
ww Summer School: guest lecturers
from industry and academia lecture
on Wind Energy R&D, market and
general competences; it is a trans-
versal to the four specialisations. It is
elective and free of charge for EWEM
Students.
ww EWEM Symposia: regular symposia
by guest lecturers/researchers
from our associate partners and by
PhD students from the Consortium,
exposing students to the state-of-
the-art in research.
ww EWEM Innovation and Entrepre-
neurship Workshop: This workshop
focus on: Knowledge Value Chain
management, organisation of
knowledge processes, technology
trees, technology/market maturity
analyses, intellectual property and
developing a business model.
ww Internship (6-9 ECTS): Students
can do their internship with EWEM
associated partners, or propose their
own internship in other institutions.
It can also be integrated with the
MSc thesis.
ww MSc thesis (30-45 ECTS): the thesis
work can be developed at any of the
partner institutions or associated
partners, independent of speciali-
zation, and is jointly supervised by
supervisors from the two diploma
awarding partners in the study track,
and possibly a third local supervisor.
The EWEM prepares graduates for a
career in research, both in industry and
in academia, and is closely linked to
the partners’ research, in particular the
large Wind Energy PhD cohort of the four
partner universities, of over 130 PhD
students.
