A Bachelor's degree, equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen, from an internationally recognised university. Also required is 75 credits in physics.
Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6. This requirement can be met either by achieving the required score on an internationally recognised test, or by previous upper secondary or university studies in some countries.
Are you interested in weather, forecasting, climate and climate change? Then meteorology and climate physics is the right choice for you. You will gain both deep and broad knowledge in these areas and be prepared for a job as, for example, a forecast meteorologist or advisor for companies with weather-dependent activities. You will also be well prepared to embark on doctoral studies or an international career. Choosing the specialisation in Meteorology and Climate Physics in the Master's Programme in Physics lets you apply your background in physics to 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 scales 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. During the programme, you can expect to: apply your background in physics to the atmosphere and learn meteorology on both local and global scales; study forecast methodology or choose a more theoretical direction; and specialise in your particular area of interest.
