Master of Science [M.S] [Physics - Meteorology] From Uppsala University

Physics - Meteorology at Uppsala Universityis developed in coordination with research groups at Uppsala University. The tutors are active researchers and the courses are linked to the frontline of physics research.

The open structure of the programme provides you with many opportunities to broaden the educational scope and to specialise in your particular area of interest.

The specialisation in Meteorology, within the Master?s Programme in Physics, lets you apply your background in physics on the atmosphere. You will study different aspects of meteorology such as atmospheric dynamics, thermodynamics, climate variations and climate change. You will learn meteorology on both local and global scale and gain skills in applied meteorology e.g. wind-power calculations and dispersion of pollutants. We also offer courses in numerical modelling of the atmosphere and practical meteorology, a hands-on course in forecast methodology.

Career

With a Master?s degree in physics, you will be qualified for PhD studies in physics. Many physics Master?s students continue as PhD students, at Uppsala University or elsewhere. You will also have the opportunity to work with research and development (R&D) at various companies and public authorities.

Your mathematical competence and analytical problem-solving skills will make you an attractive recruit. Depending on the courses you take and the specialisation you choose, there are many other individual career opportunities in special areas, both within and outside the field of physics.
