We offer a variety of possible topics for internships and final theses for the bachelor as well as for the master level (see below). If you are interested in one of the advertised topics or generally interested in a thesis in the AG Wind Energy Systems, please contact Janna Seifert (janna.kristina.seifert@uni-oldenburg.de).

In your e-mail, you should include the following documents (as PDF):

• Application form (link)
• Letter of motivation
• Short curriculum vitae including the most important certificates
• Transcript of Records (e. g. “Notenbescheinigung” from StudIP)

Requirements:

For a final thesis in the AG Wind Energy Systems you should have successfully completed at least one of the following introductory courses or modules.

For a Bachelor's degree:

• Wind Energy Utilisation (pb355)

For a Master’s degree:

• Basics of Wind Energy (pre031),
  or
• Wind Energy Physics, Data & Analysis (phy644)
  It is also highly recommended to take
• Design of Wind Energy Systems (phy649)

Exceptions are possible and will be checked individually. In case that you do not meet the above requirement, it will be checked whether you can compensate for this with other competencies. Important experiences or competences in this sense may be: modelling, simulation, programming, experimenting, measurement methods, statistics, data analysis.
