"I loved my time on the Weather and Climate MSc. In particular, my dissertation exploring climate models sparked a real interest that has continued into my career as a scientist at the Met Office, where I now work on AI for climate prediction. The course gave me a strong understanding of atmospheric dynamics, modelling, and Python, which I use every day. With such supportive lecturers and a small, close-knit cohort, it was a really enjoyable and rewarding year."
