Master Programs in Natural Sciences Atmospheric Sciences
Pursuing a master’s degree is a good option to receive more specialized education and training to prepare for a career. In some professions, a master’s degree is required even for entry-level positions.
When considering what is a Master in Atmospheric Sciences, students should be prepared to engage in research to understand the processes and physics of the atmosphere. Study may take place both in the lab and the field, combining mathematics with the physical sciences to understand complex natural phenomena. Atmospheric science is a growing field that has come more into the public awareness as a socially relevant topic with important policy implications. Subfields and degree concentrations may include meteorology, climatology, oceanography, and geophysics.
Graduates with a Master in Atmospheric Sciences often have increased skills in critical analysis, able to predict weather systems and patterns. Additionally, they should be able to explain the laws of physics governing atmospheric activity and use meteorological instruments.
Master's programs in atmospheric sciences typically take around two years to finish. Some courses may be offered on a part-time basis and therefore take longer to complete. Program costs can vary depending on this and other factors.
There are many different career paths that can be pursued with an atmospheric sciences master’s degree, ranging from weather forecasters to NASA researchers. In the field of meteorology, graduates may become research meteorologists for government organizations or the private sector, or work as a weather broadcaster. Graduates may also work in climate studies as analysts for risk management against natural disasters or for alternative energy development. Atmospheric sciences can also lead to consulting careers in air quality and environmental safety, working with governments, businesses, or NGOs.
Atmospheric sciences can be pursued all over the world. Students may consider programs based on the type of weather phenomena or field research they are interested in. Search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form
