MSc Atmospheric & Climate Science

A master's on the physics of the atmosphere, oceans and climate system. Students derive the equations of atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics, study radiation, clouds, chemistry and ocean circulation, and use numerical weather and climate models. Data analysis of observations, reanalyses and model ensembles is central, alongside studies of extremes and past climates. It suits graduates in physics, mathematics, earth sciences or engineering who want to research weather and climate quantitatively, and it ends with a research thesis.
