Wind energy, offers considerable

promise: the wind itself is free,

wind power is clean, and it is
virtually inexhaustible.
Even with our best efforts to promote energy
efficiency, the global demand for energy to
power our way of life continues to increase.
Clearly, we must develop new sources of
energy. One of these sources, wind energy,
offers considerable promise: the wind itself is
free, wind power is clean, and it is virtually
inexhaustible. In recent years, research on
wind energy has accelerated, and new
developments in efficient and cost-effective
ways of harnessing wind energy are making
it increasingly attractive and competitive.
The European Wind Energy Master is an
Erasmus Mundus MSc degree programme that
is built upon a body of emerging research that
has the potential to shape the future of the
wind energy sector.
In preparing engineers for a truly global sector, one of
the programmes goals is to train professionals to
become resourceful problem solvers who are capable of
collaborating with colleagues across cultural divides.
Students acquire knowledge in the theoretical and
applied sciences that underlie wind energy systems, in
addition to specific competencies that they will need in
order to function in your chosen area of specialisation.
Upon successful completion of the programme, students
are awarded a dual MSc degree: one diploma from
each of two partner universities, depending upon the
specialisations that they follow.
Masters programme
The European Commissions Erasmus Mundus
programme label is awarded to joint MSc programmes
of outstanding quality. This award includes full
scholarships and fellowships for students and visiting
scholars. The EWEM consortium is composed of four
universities: Delft University of Technology (TU Delft),
Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Norwegian
University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and the
Carl von Ossietzky Universitt Oldenburg (UniOL).
Each of these institutions has a long history of research,
innovation, and teaching performance in wind energy.

Programme specialisation
EWEM offers four specialisations along the energy
conversion chain, each with two or three areas of focus:
Wind Physics
Atmospheric aerodynamics and turbulence
Wind farm aerodynamics
Rotor Design
Aerodynamics
Structure and design
Composite design, material production and manufacturing
Electrical Power systems
Power systems
Power electronics and drives
Offshore Engineering
Installation, accessibility and maintenance
Design of offshore support structures
Modelling and optimisation of soil mechanics and mooring
systems
As an EWEM student, you will spend your time at no more than
four different partner universities. You can complete your
internship and conduct part of your thesis work with one of our
more than 40 partner organisations, ranging from industrial
firms to other universities and research institutions.
Career prospects
The number of jobs in the wind energy sector in Europe is
expected to increase from the current 200 000 to 450 000 by
2020. Globally, the growth will be even faster: wind energy jobs
throughout the world are expected to double every 10 years,
increasing from 630 000 in 2010 to 2 400 000 in 2030. A large
proportion of our graduates finds work with EWEM associated
partners, often before graduation. Others choose to work in
wind energy research, remain in academia or begin their own
firms. The growth in wind energy will continue to drive the
demand for qualified engineers and researchers.
Admission requirements and
application procedures
The application process is conducted by the TU Delft
International Office. Applicants should apply according to
the regulations and procedure described on the TU Delft
application website and on www.windenergymaster.eu
Applicants wishing to be considered for scholarship through the

Others can apply through 1 April 2013. In addition to the
regulations posted on the TU Delft application website, the
following guidelines will be used to consider applications:
1) Candidates must have obtained a BSc diploma of substantial
quality and level corresponding to at least three years of
university studies, equivalent to 180 ECTS.
2) The programme builds upon an initial degree (e.g. Bachelors
degree or equivalent qualification in a related field). Each of
the four tracks has its own degree requirements. Applicants
for the Rotor Design track must hold a Bachelors degree
in either Mechanical, Aerospace Engineering, Physics
(or a degree with equivalent core content).
The best combination of knowledge from four leading universities
The international character of the EWEM programme is what initially
attracted me to this new Masters degree programme. It has provided me
with the best combination of knowledge from four leading universities in
the field of wind energy, while allowing me to work on challenging
courses with a group of highly motivated students from all over the
world. The summer school, internship and symposiums provide a good
link to industry. The excellent organisational support (e.g. for housing,
residence permits, scholarships) allows students to spend their time
studying and enjoying their time abroad. If you are interested in wind
energy and would like to broaden your horizon, EWEM is the Masters
degree programme for you!
