Study wind energy – work with wind energy

ForWind’s advanced study program in wind energy technology and management (‘Windstudium’) is the first academic advanced training program in Germany specifically for the wind energy industry.

The University of Oldenburg is a partner in the unique master’s program “European Wind Energy Master”(EWEM). In addition, students at the universities of Oldenburg, Hanover and Bremen can specialize in wind energy as part of various bachelor’s and master’s degree programs. Postgraduate studies with a focus on renewable energies are also possible in Oldenburg.

Our study programs at a glance

Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs at the Universities of Oldenburg, Hannover and Bremen, which allow specialization in the field of wind energy.

l

Uni Hannover - B.Sc. Civil and environmental engineering

Civil and environmental engineers are in demand wherever intelligent solutions are needed for structural designs that also incorporate aspects of environmental protection. They plan and design, construct and program, calculate and shape our built environment.

Uni Hannover - M.Sc. Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering encompasses the development, design, construction and implementation of technical products, processes and systems that function in a traceable, reliable and definite manner. In addition to optimizing established technologies, it is also important to develop innovative and interdisciplinary solutions for complex problems.

University of Oldenburg - B.Eng. Engineering Physics

Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg and Emden/Leer University of Applied Sciences offer the international bachelor’s degree program Engineering Physics to bridge the gap between traditional physics and engineering education. The internationally oriented program provides insights into current research fields and new developments in applied physics.

 

Uni Hannover - M.Sc. Environmental Engineering

Environmental engineers develop solutions for environment-related engineering problems. They plan environmental engineering plants and infrastructures, are responsible for the structural execution, operation and maintenance. You implement and integrate processes

 

Uni Hannover - M.Sc. Electrical engineering and information technology

The master’s degree program in electrical engineering and information technology prepares students for independent work in the areas of research and production. Possible focus areas: Automation/robotics, energy/mobility, communications engineering, microelectronics, or machine learning.

 

Uni Oldenburg - M.Sc. Engineering Physics

Future regional, national and global primary energy supply cannot do without a noticeable contribution from renewable energy. In the focus Renewable Energies, theoretical basics of the conversion possibilities of renewable energy forms and the corresponding limitations are taught and their physical and technical modes of action and possible applications are discussed.

 

Uni Hannover - M.Sc. Civil Engineering

Whether structural analysis, construction management or the application of numerical simulation methods – in the master’s program “Civil Engineering” you will acquire extensive knowledge in four semesters. In this degree program, the major “Wind Energy Engineering” can be chosen.

University of Oldenburg - B.Sc. Physics

The subject bachelor physics program serves to impart basic knowledge of theoretical and experimental physics in a broad subject-related scope and gives an insight into current problems and research methods of the subject.

 

f

Uni Bremen - B.Sc. Systems Engineering

The Systems Engineering program offers qualifications in the three basic disciplines of electrical engineering, computer science and production engineering/mechanical engineering, enabling students to learn interdisciplinary ways of working while taking a holistic view of technical systems.

 

Uni Hannover - M.Sc. Power Engineering

In the age of resource scarcity and climate change, there is an urgent need to improve existing technologies for resource conservation in terms of their efficiency and to further develop new research and technologies for the use of regenerative energy sources, such as wind energy.

 

Uni Oldenburg - M.Sc. Physics

The subject master’s degree program in physics is research-oriented and serves to provide comprehensive, in-depth knowledge in the main disciplines of physics and special training, e.g., in wind energy research. Students are enabled to work independently, problem-oriented and interdisciplinary and to present the results conclusively.

 

Uni Bremen - M.Sc. Systems Engineering

Technical systems must increasingly be planned as integrated systems from the outset. In the master’s program Systems Engineering, knowledge is deepened in the four specialization areas Automation Technology and Robotics, Embedded Systems and Systems Engineering, Mechatronics or Production Engineering. The Master’s program is research-oriented at its core, making it ideal for students who wish to pursue a career in research and academia.

ForWind is a co-initiator of the European Wind Energy Master (EWEM), a transnational double degree Master’s course funded by the European Commission as an Erasmus Mundus Master’s course from 2012 to 2018. EWEM is supported by a consortium that is a world leader in research and teaching in the field of wind energy and offshore wind energy: in addition to the University of Oldenburg, these are the Technical University of Denmark (RISOE-DTU), the Delft University of Technology (TUDelft) and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Associated partners from research institutes, industry and NGOs form a strong network of supporters.

European Wind Energy Master

With the part-time continuing education program Wind Energy Technology and Management (Wind Studies), you build your skills and qualifications on a solid foundation. Through close cooperation with leading companies in the industry, you will be prepared for the current challenges in wind energy. The continuing education integrates aspects of natural sciences, technology, information technology and business administration, law, planning and project management. The wind study was developed by ForWind, WAB e.V. and the city of Oldenburg and has been on the market since 2006.
