Final project for Master of Wind Energy – online course

Admission to the course requires a B.Sc. or B.Eng. degree or higher and at least, two years of relevant working experience.

The relevant working experience could be – but is not necessarily restricted to – employment in:

• The wind energy industry.
• Oil and gas companies.
• Shipping companies.
• Companies performing environmental assessment.
• Public agencies with responsibilities related to engineering and natural sciences.
• Since the programme is taught in English, you must have proficient English skills.

Recommended prerequisites
In addition to the admission requirements above, we strongly recommend that you have mathematics and programming skills equivalent to B.Sc. or B.Eng. level or higher.

If you have few or no programming experiences, we recommend following our Scientific Programming for Wind Energy course as early as possible.

Technical requirements 
You will need a PC with a stable internet connection to follow this online course.

Course platform
All master courses run on the web based course platform DTU Learn. Once you access the platform, all the courses you are signed up for, become available for you – after the semester start day.

You can start working on the project when you have passed the nine Master courses, and when you have an agreement with a DTU supervisor.

The supervisor may be one of the lecturers from your courses or other scientific staff from DTU. You are encouraged to find a suitable supervisor yourself. However, if you have difficulties finding a supervisor that matches your project, we will help you get in contact with the relevant person.

Usually the project period runs in parallel with a semester. However, another period can be agreed upon between you and the supervisor.

You are expected to choose an overall topic for your Master project based on the knowledge and experience you have gained through the nine Master courses. Once you have decided on a topic, you may start thinking about the problem statement of your thesis.

The content and specific learning objectives of the thesis will be outlined in collaboration with your supervisor. Furthermore, your supervisor will help you outline your project’s final problem statement. The thesis may contain a combination of theoretical studies, synthesis, modelling and analysis. However, the thesis must include elements of literature studies and criticism.

The final project is expected to be concluded with an on-site oral defense.

The price for the Final project is 38,000 DKK.
