The MSc Offshore Wind Energy at the University of Strathclyde is designed for aspiring engineers and scientists ready to lead in the rapidly expanding renewable energy sector. You will gain essential knowledge in critical areas such as offshore structural integrity, risk and reliability engineering, and the complex dynamics of wind turbine systems. This postgraduate degree equips you to address the challenges of designing, analysing, and managing offshore wind energy installations, a field vital for global decarbonisation efforts. You will develop a systematic understanding of engineering principles and their practical application in this dynamic industry.
This full-time, on-campus Masters degree is studied over one year, integrating theoretical learning with practical application. You will explore advanced topics through modules covering generator modelling and control, wind turbine technology, and offshore wind turbine dynamics modelling, utilising tools for analysing marine environments and structural responses. The curriculum includes a significant group project and an individual project, with opportunities for industry internships alongside partners like ScottishPower and SSE. You will graduate with the specialised expertise and practical experience to pursue impactful careers in offshore wind farm development, operation, and maintenance.
