Uppsala University, founded in 1477, is the oldest university in Sweden. Today, the university is a leading research institution with a strong commitment to high-quality education and active engagement with society. With a wide range of academic disciplines and research areas, Uppsala University is dedicated to making a positive impact on the world through its research, teaching, and community partnerships. The university's mission is to pursue excellence in research and education while also working collaboratively with others to address the complex challenges facing our society today.

The Master's Programme in Wind Power Project Management is a multidisciplinary programme organised into themes around the planning, project development, and management of wind farms. Different aspects of these subjects are addressed at the beginning of the programme. As the programme is thematic, you often study several aspects of wind power project development and management together.

The first autumn semester starts with a course in Wind Power Development and Management that provides the basic knowledge and skills in the field. It is followed by the courses Wind Resource Assessment, Planning for Wind Energy, and Wind Turbine Technology. These courses provide in-depth knowledge on meteorology, planning and permitting, wind resource assessment, environmental impact assessment, turbine technology, and stakeholder management.

In the spring semester, you will learn about the integration of wind power into the electrical grid. The knowledge gain in the previous courses will be applied in a project when you conduct a feasibility study. The semester concludes with the courses Scientific Methods in Wind Power Project Management, and Trends in the Wind Industry, which give you the tools for scientific research and knowledge about the current challenges and state of the art solutions in the wind industry.

You will start the third semester with in-depth courses such as Wind Project Management and Financing, Construction, Operation and Maintenance of Wind Farms.

In the second half of the semester, you are able to choose one of five elective courses with specialisations in Wind Power Project Management, Planning for Wind Energy, Wind Resource Assessment (which requires previous knowledge of physics, mechanics or meteorology, or a related field), Wind Energy Technology (requires a Bachelor's degree in engineering), and Decision Analysis of Wind Power Development.

It is also possible to have an exchange semester at another university or to start an extended thesis project of 45 credits.

In the final semester, you will conduct an individual research project for your degree thesis (30 credits) or continue with the extended thesis project of 45 credits. If you wish to do an internship, you can conduct an industrial thesis at a company.
