Location of Technical University of Denmark (DTU)
Wind power is a very successful technology with steadily increasing importance. Wind energy installed throughout the world generates the equivalent electricity need of 47 million Europeans. And this is just the beginning. In 2020 wind power can deliver 12% of global electricity demand, create 2.3 million jobs and make a substantial contribution to reduction of the CO2-emmisions.
With a wind energy programme from DTU, you get an education based on the world-leading competences in the heart of the global wind power development. The education is based on absolutely front-knowledge and technology, combining the scientific research and knowledge of DTU and Risø with teaching and guidance from a large number of associated experts and researchers from the industry. As a world-leading university within wind energy technology, DTU has been engaged in wind energy research and education since the 1970’ies and has offered a dedicated MSc education in wind power since 2001.
