PostgraduateCourse summary
Our Applied Meteorology and Climatology MSc has been accredited by the Royal Meteorological Society to provide comprehensive training for Chartered Meteorologists (CMet). Weather and climate are integral parts of the Earth system. The monitoring of meteorological variables, together with the knowledge and modelling of underlying processes, are key to understanding our interaction with the natural environment. This programme provides comprehensive training in understanding, modelling and prediction of atmospheric processes; as well as the collection, management, supply and application of atmospheric data for the needs of a variety of public and private sectors. The course also demonstrates how these create opportunities or pose problems for the successful operation of natural and human systems. Our aim is that upon graduation you will be able to compete for careers in Meteorology and Climatology. This well-established programme was developed in response to industry and research institution requirements for applied meteorologists and climatologists. This demand continues, partially due to the growing attention of the society to climate change, its mitigation and adaptation to it.
Modules
Modules include: Theoretical Meteorology: Atmospheric Composition and Physics; Theoretical Meteorology: Atmospheric Data Processing; Physical Climatology, Climate Change and Applications and Theoretical Meteorology: Atmospheric Composition and Physics.
Assessment method
Our modules are assessed in different ways, some with more of a focus on written examinations and others with more of a focus on presentations and practical exercise. Taught modules involve lectures, practical classes and supporting tutorials. Modules are provided by staff, supported by seminars from invited experts.
