This master’s-level qualification is ideal if you are considering a career in climate or meteorological research. If you are fascinated by storms and tornadoes, then a year in Oklahoma is the perfect chance to study severe weather systems up close. The course’s first two years are identical to BSc Meteorology and Climate, covering all aspects of meteorology and climate, including atmospheric science and oceanography.

Your third year will be spent at the University of Oklahoma. Modules during this time are geared towards the weather of the US High Plains region and the methods used to observe and forecast it. During your final year you’ll carry out an independent research project and can choose from an extended range of options at master’s level.

As a graduate of the MMet degree, you will be well placed to move on to postgraduate research or pursue a career in environmental and physical sciences or mathematics, such as flood modelling or pollution prediction.

The increasing amounts of meteorological and climate data available from a growing space industry, and the push for sustainability across all sectors, means that meteorology and climate science graduates are increasingly in demand.

You could move into areas such as water resource management, environmental consultancy, energy supply, flood modelling, pollution prediction or terrestrial and space weather forecasting.
