“A need of educated engineers is be
noted on all levels of the high growing
on- and offshore sector. We would like
to educate qualified engineers for the
growing job market of the Wind Energy
Sector.”
Dr. Kurt Rohrig,
Deputy Director of
the Institute,
Head of Division
Energy Economy and
Grid Operation
Objectives
The main objective of the master program
for Wind Energy Systems is capacity build-
ing in the field of wind energy for research
and industry. Methods and technology
innovations should be developed in learn-
ing alliances with the industry within the
framework of master theses and doctoral
dissertations.

scope
The study program consists of a selection
of more than 30 modules. The modules are
self-contained learning units. All modules
are taught online. This enables career
changers and professionals to take the
academic training in the emerging research
and business field of wind energy systems.

target group
Prospective target groups for the
Master program are natural scientists and
engineers from research and industry. Our
students are offered online courses to
complete a master program or to complete
individual specialization modules.
An interdisciplinary team of teachers
The participating teachers have a high
level of interdisciplinarity. All professors of
the University of Kassel are internationally
recognized experts in wind energy system
technology. The lecturers from Fraunhofer
IWES are pioneers and leading experts on
the energy system technology of wind
turbines with a great deal of experience in
research and industrial applications. As a
member of important wind energy research
associations (including DERlab, EUREC,
EERA, EAWE), Fraunhofer IWES has an
exceptional level of wind energy expertise.
Knowledge transfer from research into
education
As a result of the technical cooperation
between the University of Kassel and the
Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and
Energy System Technology (IWES), the lat-
est research findings are integrated into the
teaching of the Online M.Sc. Wind Energy
Systems.
The research activities of Fraunhofer IWES
cover wind power and the integration
of renewable energy into energy supply
structures. The main areas of research are:
Technology and operational manage-
ment of wind turbines and wind farms;
component development for rotors, drive
trains and foundations, evaluation methods
for wind turbines and components, envi-
ronmental impact analysis of wind power
generation, control and system integration,
converters and storage systems.
An overview
of the benefits we offer
• Part time or fulltime studies and
distance learning
• Studies are carried out independently
of time and location
• A unique insight into the research
and development in the field of wind
energy
• Both institutions have extensive
experience of education and training
in the field of renewable energies
• Teaching by leading wind energy
experts
• A modern e-Learning environment
• Scientific and high tech application-
oriented study
• A highly flexible choice of modules
