Program Curriculum
Course Structure
- Introduction (10 ECTS): lectured at DTU, it consists of the course Wind Energy Technology and Aerodynamics (10 ECTS). The course introduces the full EWEM students cohort to Wind Energy technology and the role of the graduate as a technological agent, including technology valorisation, team work and management perspective.
- Specialization (49-61 ECTS): this block includes compulsive (core) and elective courses, both on the specialization (applied and fundamental) and general competences, such as scientific writing, research methodologies and languages.
- Summer/Spring school: guest lecturers from industry and academia lecture on Wind Energy R&D, market and general competences; it is a transversal to the four specializations. It is elective and free of charge for EWEM Students and for EWEM Alumni, and will be integrated with the EAWE PhD Summer/Spring school, becoming a network point for MSc and PhD students, academic research staff and industry.
- EWEM guest lectures and 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.
- Internship (15 ECTS) or Professional orientation (6 ECTS): students can chose a full 3-months internship (they need to count on studying longer; finish with 129 ECTS) or can opt for a 1-month professional orientation in industry or research institute (associate partner or otherwise).
- MSc thesis (30-45 ECTS): the thesis work can be developed at any of the partner institutions or associated partners, independent of specialization, and is jointly supervised by supervisors from the two diploma awarding partners in the study track, and possibly a third local supervisor.
