MSc Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate
Gain a deep quantitative understanding of the climate system with our MSc Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate.
This course will prepare you for a career in meteorology-related science and research, with a focus on:
Whether you want to mitigate the impact of hazardous weather events, understand how our changing climate may affect the jet stream, or even look further afield and forecast space weather – or focus your efforts elsewhere within meteorology and climate science – we will help you develop the scientific and analytical skills you need.
Choosing MSc Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate means you will join our world-class Department of Meteorology – the University of Reading is ranked 4th in the world for Atmospheric Science (ShanghaiRanking 2022 Global Ranking of Academic Subjects).
This course is approved by the Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS) and is your first step towards becoming professionally accredited as either a Registered Meteorologist (RMet) or Chartered Meteorologist (CMet).
As you develop your skills in computing, analytics and numerical models, your learning will be supported by:
You will be taught by academics who are leaders in their fields. They will draw on their research experience to give you unique scientific perspectives into environmental issues that affect our 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).
Your master’s dissertation is an opportunity to further our knowledge of meteorological science and research.
This allows you to:
You may also have the opportunity to work on a research project in collaboration with one of our industry partners.
We are proud of our long-established relationships with more than 30 organisations in the meteorological, climate and related sectors. These include:
As part of your studies, you will have the opportunity to participate in field work that focuses on observing and predicting typical weather systems in the mid-latitudes.
Over the course of a weekend, you will understand how and why the weather varies in a particular region by building a coherent picture of its evolution. You will do this by:
This master’s course is designed for graduates with a background in physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer science, or closely related subjects.
It is particularly suitable for those interested in pursuing further higher education opportunities or research and development careers in industry.
You can attend this course on a full-time basis over one year, or part-time over two years.
