General information
Boost your CV by studying abroad and earn a double degree from two internationally acclaimed universities. Spend one year in Korea, and gain a unique specialization in Offshore Wind Energy.
Offshore Wind Energy is a DTU-KAIST Dual Degree programme. This means that you get to spend one year at DTU and one year at KAIST—Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. You earn both a Danish and an international degree, which gives you personal and academic skills with an international foundation.
The aim of the Offshore Wind Energy Dual Degree programme is to give you a general understanding of offshore wind energy systems and an in-depth knowledge of aerodynamics, aero-elasticity, mechanics, grid connection, power systems, hydrodynamics, offshore structure design, and wind farm planning, which will qualify you to analyse, design, develop, and operate offshore wind energy systems.
The programme offers cross-disciplinary knowledge of a wide range of offshore wind power technologies, and the offshore wind energy specialization from DTU and KAIST gives you education-based on world-leading expertise at the heart of global offshore wind power development.
Fast-growing offshore wind energy
In 2020, wind power is expected to deliver 12 per cent of global electricity demand, create millions of jobs, and make a substantial contribution to reducing CO2 emissions. Wind power is a very important source for producing electricity, and its importance is steadily increasing. Having increased significantly in recent years, global offshore wind power capacity is expected to total approximately 51 GW in 2020.
Combined expertise of two top universities
The Offshore Wind Energy programme is based on the expertise of DTU on wind energy and the experience of KAIST on ocean engineering. The programme targets students who wish to profit from the two universities’ long-standing traditions and combined knowledge within the area of wind energy and ocean engineering.
Focus. The main focus of the Offshore Wind Energy Dual Degree programme is the understanding of the wind energy as well as offshore engineering. The course is based on state-of-the-art knowledge and technology, combining the scientific research and accumulated knowledge with teaching and guidance from a large number of associated experts and researchers from the industry.
- General competence courses
- Specialization courses
- Elective courses
- Master thesis
Please note: 30 DTU ECTS is equal to 9 KAIST credits.
Studying abroad jump-starts your career as employers are always looking for graduates with an international outlook and intercultural competencies. Upon graduation, you are eligible to enter a PhD programme, but you are also qualitied for demanding positions in industry.
Career opportunities
Upon graduation, you will be qualified to work within a wide range of areas:
- wind turbine system design at manufacturers, such as Vestas and Siemens
- component design of blades, tower, jacket, monopile, etc.
- wind turbine operators, such as Dong Energy and Vattenfall
- certification bodies, such as DNV GL.
Graduates from the Offshore Wind Energy Dual Degree, who wish to qualify for management positions in research and development—be it in industry or academia—will need additional intensive and solid research education.
Graduating the MSc programme with a high grade point average qualifies you for admission to PhD studies—either as an industrial PhD with concurrent employment in a company, or as a regular PhD student.
