Gain a deep quantitative understanding of the climate system with our MSc Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate. This course, offered by our world-class Department of Meteorology, will prepare you for a career in meteorology-related science and research, with a focus on: a quantitative description of the physical processes that produce weather, the physical and dynamical building blocks of our climate, the numerical and computational methods used to construct state-of-the-art models of the climate system. Whether you want to mitigate the impact of hazardous weather events, understand how our changing climate may affect the jet stream, or focus your efforts elsewhere within meteorology and climate science, we will help you develop the scientific and analytical skills you need. 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).
Accommodation costs will vary depending on whether you choose standard, premium or private accommodation, and how long you are staying. Prices can vary from around £160 to £350 per week.
