MSc Applied Meteorology and Climate with Management

Combine the study of meteorology and climate science with management training on our MSc Applied Meteorology and Climate with Management.

This course will provide you the scientific background for improved understanding of meteorology and climate. It will also prepare you for current - or future - managerial responsibilities, with a significant course focus on the management of people and organisations.

Whether you want to mitigate the economic impact of hazardous weather events, look further afield and forecast space weather, or focus your efforts elsewhere within meteorology’s broad spectrum, we will help you develop the scientific and managerial skills you need.

Choosing MSc Applied Meteorology and Climate with Management means your interdisciplinary learning will be split between our world-class Department of Meteorology - the University of Reading is ranked 2nd in the world for research in Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (Center for World University Rankings by Subject, 2017) - and the triple-accredited Henley Business School.

WHAT CAREER CAN YOU HAVE?

Careers for MSc Applied Meteorology and Climate with Management graduates

This degree’s comprehensive joint approach means you will be well placed to pursue a scientific career in weather forecasting and meteorological research, and will prepare you for managerial roles.

A master’s in applied meteorology and climate with management provides you with the knowledge, as well as the technical and computing skills, to carry out quantitative scientific research and projects in meteorology and related areas of environmental science.

In fact, some of our students have published their master’s research projects in mainstream scientific journals even before they graduate.

Normally a good honours degree (2.2 or above), or equivalent from a university outside the UK, in a mathematical/physical science or a closely related subject. Degrees in environmental or agricultural sciences or geography may be acceptable if maths and physics have been studied to A level or equivalent. Prior knowledge of meteorology is not necessary for this programme.
