Course Summary

An MSc or MA by Research is a more independent level of study where you’re assessed and awarded based on your research activity. Studying for an MA or MSc by Research can be an excellent and challenging opportunity to develop your intellectual skills and your academic interest in a particular field. The Masters by Research is a 12 month research project (24 months part-time). It is distinct from our taught Masters programmes and involves planning, implementing and writing up a research project. You will be supervised by two members of academic staff and will be encouraged to submit your work for publication at the end of the course.We are interested in some of the most important phenomena influencing our weather and climate. We have particular specialisms in the following- Meteorology associated with hills and mountains, in the UK and overseas, Atmospheric properties in the lowest part of the atmosphere (the boundary layer), over the land and the ocean. The behaviour of convective clouds in particular cumulonimbus clouds and thunderstorms. Dynamics, microphysics and climatic influence of stratocumulus and cirrus clouds. Cyclones and fronts in mid-latitudes rainfall, winds and dynamics. Tropical weather systems notably African weather and climate. Computer modelling of weather and climate.
