UCAS Code: F790Course length: 3 years
Accreditation:Approved by the Royal Meteorological Society as an appropriate academic training for meteorologists seeking the qualification Chartered Meteorologist.
Our course aims to provide a thorough degree-level education in environmental physical science, with emphasis on the physics of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. It also aims to provide graduates with a sufficient degree level knowledge of applied physics and mathematics to enable them to pursue a career outside the specialist areas of meteorology and oceanography.
Grade C or better in English, science and mathematics in GCSE or equivalent
The British Antarctic Survey, the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, the Environment Agency and three or four commercial weather forecasting companies are examples of organisations that provide employment to graduates wishing to specialise in the applications of meteorology.
Opportunities also exist in the general area of environmental consultancy, both with local authorities (in the UK) and private companies. However, a graduate is also qualified to follow a career involving more general applications of physical science and mathematics, as in teaching (primary or secondary level), the scientific civil service, and industry.
Graduates also pursue higher degrees mostly in the UK but occasionally in the USA.
Over the past 2 years, 6 months after graduating 81% of our graduates are in graduate level work or futher study (e.g. MSc and PhD degrees).
