Wind Energy Engineering, M.Sc.
Our location predestines us, so to speak, to teach you everything about wind energy. Not only is there always a more or less stiff breeze blowing in our country, more than 8,000 people work in the wind industry in Schleswig-Holstein – we are far ahead in Germany. But also far beyond Germany, wind is one of the renewable energy sources with the greatest growth potential. In order to leverage this potential and create the energy transition, professionals are needed and we train them.

How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
