Description
This course covers the basics of atmosphere physics, analysis of meteorological and climate data (from observations and models), and forecasting.
You will develop your skills in forecasting, weather analysis and statistics, and learn how to interrogate cutting-edge research. This course is ideal if you are interested in a career in forecasting and applications of meteorology, weather and climate.
You will join a world-class department that is renowned for its internationally leading research in all aspects of weather and climate science. You will benefit from small class sizes as a result of our excellent staff-to-student ratio (about 1:1) at master's level. We run weekly weather and climate discussions, which incorporate our own real-time meteorological data. You may also be able to use this data in your own work
You will have the opportunity to work on a research project in collaboration with one of our industrial partners. This is a great way to apply what you learn to industry and deepen your understanding of the natural world.
Our Department is home to five Fellows of the Royal Society, as well as climate experts who contribute to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This means you will be taught by academics who are leaders in their fields, and who draw on their research experience to give you unique scientific perspectives into the environmental issues that affect our world.
All of our master's courses are fully accredited by the Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS). The academic content of our courses is aligned with the World Meteorological Organization Basic Instruction Package for Meteorologists (BIP-M) and Meteorological Technicians (BIP-MT). This means that what you are learning is professionally relevant to the field and of the highest quality. Graduating from one of our RMetS-accredited master's courses is the first step towards becoming professionally accredited as either a Registered Meteorologist (RMet) or Chartered Meteorologist (CMet).
