What is the purpose of this study programme?
Become a marine energy creator and help shape the world’s sustainable future with offshore wind turbine engineering!
By 2030, global offshore wind capacity is expected to reach 234 GW, and by 2050 – an impressive 1.1 TW. In Lithuania, the first 700 MW offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea will start operating in 2028, producing up to 6 terawatt-hours of green electricity per year – half of Lithuania’s current electricity needs. A second farm of the same capacity will follow in 2030. Together, these projects will attract over EUR 2 billion in investment and create about 2,600 new jobs, ranging from construction to long-term maintenance.
This interdisciplinary study programme prepares highly qualified marine engineering specialists who are in high demand in the international renewable energy job market. Students develop specialized expertise and acquire strong theoretical knowledge together with practical skills in offshore wind farm operation and turbine maintenance, or in unmanned watercraft operation. They gain the ability to apply sustainable engineering solutions that support the development of renewable energy at sea, strengthen national energy security, and contribute to environmental objectives.
